HONOLULU (Nov. 13) – Freshman
Kinzley Larsen scored 18 points and sophomore
Mylee Anderson had 14 points and five assists to lead a balanced scoring effort for the Alaska Anchorage women's basketball team Friday in a 74-58 victory over Chaminade at McCabe Gymnasium.
Led by 7-of-8 shooting from Larsen, the Seawolves (4-2) got half of their scoring from the bench, including nine points on 3-of-5 shooting from
Kiara Stone and eight points from
Jayden Smallwood.
The Silverswords (1-3) were led by 17 points from guard Ledjan Pahukoa, but were outrebounded 44-33 and outshot .448 to .277.
"We got nice production up and down the lineup and Kinzley showed why she's going to be an outstanding college player," said UAA head coach
Matt Thune. "We still have plenty to improve on, and a tough challenge ahead with our upcoming schedule."
Meeting after an 82-53 UAA win in the Hoops In Hawaii Tip-Off Classic, the Seawolves led the rematch from start to finish, getting eight early points from
Sheridan Liggett to take control. Anderson and Stone scored seven points apiece in the second quarter to claim a 37-23 halftime edge, and Larsen went on a personal 9-0 run to stretch the Seawolves' largest lead to 54-26.
The Silverswords made a late surge to slice it to 63-53 with 2:23 remaining, but Smallwood helped seal the win with two forced turnovers and three points from the foul stripe.
Bridgette Tello had 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting to extend her double-figure scoring streak to six games, while Liggett finished with 10 points, five rebounds and four assists.
