SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. — The Michigan Tech women’s basketball team pulled away for a 77-47 GLIAC victory at Lake Superior State Saturday afternoon. The Huskies outscored the Lakers 22-7 in the second quarter to take command of the game.

“I really thought our second unit played well and did everything that we asked of them today,” coach Kim Cameron said. “They made a lot of great plays defensively and helped us go on our run in the second quarter. Our defense is driving our offense, and when we are able to make plays on the defensive end of the floor that’s when our offense has been most effective. Overall, it was a great game and great week to get a couple of road victories in the conference.”

Michigan Tech (14-2, 8-1 GLIAC) started the game quickly with the first seven points to grab the momentum. Senior Lindsay Winter scored the first two points of the afternoon on a mid-range jumper. Then, senior Kelli Guy followed with a triple and tacked on two more points with a jumper at the 7:47 mark to make it a 7-0 score. The Huskies led LSSU (0-13, 0-9 GLIAC) from start to finish.

Leading 21-15 with just over six minutes to play in the half, Michelle LaFave connected on consecutive jumpers in the lane to give the Huskies their first double-digit lead at 25-15. The Huskies led 41-20 at the half and coasted the rest of the way.

Six Tech players generated 10 or more points in the win, led by Winter who went 7 of 10 from the field on the way to 18 points and seven rebounds. Hannah Hobson and Guy followed with 12 points, and senior Elisa Jurmu had 11 points. The point total for Hobson was a new career high.

As a team, the Huskies converted 30 of 55 shot attempts from the field (54.5 percent). They were 12 of 21 from behind the arc (57.1 percent), and 5 of 5 at the free throw line. Tech out-rebounded the Lakers 26-18 and forced 13 turnovers.

Tamara Novic and Alexandria Kohn each recorded 11 points and four rebounds for the Lakers. LSSU made 18 of 44 shots from the field (40.9 percent), 2 of 10 from 3-point range (20.0 percent), and 9 of 16 from the free throw line (56.3 percent).

The Huskies are on the road next week for two more GLIAC games starting Thursday night at Wayne State. Tech then wraps up the four-game road trip on Saturday at Davenport. Thursday’s tip-off against the Warriors is slated for 5:30 p.m.
