Warriors Win in 2OT
Submitted by: Ron Smith - February 8th, 2010
Depth has been a concern for Westmont Women’s Basketball in recent weeks, but tonight the Warrior bench provided the fire-power and the spark needed to propel the Warriors to a 92-88, double-overtime win against the Royals of Hope International on Saturday night.
Freshman guard Vanessa Farias played just 15 minutes for the Warriors but went four for five from beyond the arc to score 14 points. Senior Kelsey Hardeman came off the bench to lead the team with ten rebounds, proving why the Warriors list her as a forward on the roster despite being the shortest player on the team. Hardeman added seven points to the Warriors’ totals.
“That was a great college basketball game,” said Westmont Head Coach Kirsten Moore. “There were a lot of great plays on both sides. They hit big shots and we hit shots. It was really fun to be a part of it. I’m really proud of the way my team played and gutted it out. Ultimately, we finally got the stops on defense that we needed to in the second overtime.”
Both teams got off to a slow start with Westmont holding a 6-5 lead seven minutes into the game. Adding to the Warriors’ woes was the loss of freshman post Tawny McCain.



Senior point guard Amber Stevens tallied 16 points, eight rebounds, six assists and three steals as Westmont Women’s Basketball cruised to an easy 72-47 win over San Diego Christian (4-16, 1-10 GSAC) on Saturday night in Murchison Gymnasium. Westmont improved to 12-7 overall and 5-6 in Golden State Athletic Conference play.
Jessica Case recorded a career-high 26 points on 10-of-17 shooting from the field, but Westmont Women’s Basketball suffered its sixth loss in seven games, falling to #11 Azusa Pacific 73-60. With the road loss, Westmont falls to 11-7 overall and 4-6 in Golden State Athletic Conference play.
Despite a remarkable comeback at the end of regulation, #20 Westmont Women’s Basketball could not contain Biola (8-6, 4-2 GSAC) and lost to the Eagles 88-76 in overtime. With the loss, Westmont falls to 10-4 overall and 3-3 in Golden State Athletic Conference play.
