YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women's basketball team shattered its single-game points record against Marygrove College, cruising to a 120-35 non-conference victory Saturday, Nov. 30, at the Convocation Center. Twelve different Eagles scored with seven players reaching double figures in points.
With the win, Eastern improves to 4-0 overall on the season, while Marygrove falls to 2-7 overall. The Green and White had a record-setting afternoon as it broke three EMU records and six Convocation Center records in the contest.
Four Eagles had career days as Phillis Webb (Brooklyn Park, Minn.-Osseo) and Desyree Thomas (Waterford, Mich.-Mott) fueled the EMU offense with 19 points apiece. Webb's 19 points and nine rebounds were each career-highs for the freshman, while Thomas' 19 points tied a career-best set against Western Michigan, March 9, 2013. The duo of Haley Moore (Milford, Neb.-Milford) and Jamaica Bucknor (New Haven, Conn.) each reached double-digit points with career afternoons. Moore tied a career-best, draining five three-pointers and notching a career-high 17 points, while Bucknor had 10 points for EMU. KaBria Walker (Toledo, Ohio-Rogers) closed out the individual career days for the Eagles as the sophomore had three points and nabbed two defensive rebounds.
Freshman Cha Sweeney (Toledo, Ohio-Rogers) notched her first career double-double as she had 13 points and pulled down a team-high 10 rebounds, while dishing out six assists. Olivia Fouty (Toledo, Ohio-Sylvania Northview) had 12 points and Janay Morton (Brooklyn Park, Minn.-Osseo) also had 10 for the Green and White.
The Eagles shot 45.5 percentage for the contest, going 45-for-99 from the floor with a 52.5 percent clip in the second half; meanwhile the Mustangs only managed 22.7 percent from the floor, making 15-of-66 attempts.
The Green and White got after Marygrove quickly as it went on an 18-0 run to start the contest. Fouty led the EMU attack as she scored four points and grabbed two steals, while Morton and Sweeney each nabbed two rebounds. The Mustangs connected on their first basket of the contest with 15:02 left in the first half of play. Eastern quickly responded to the made basket as Moore drained a three-pointer from the top of the arc, bringing the Eagles advantage to 21-2.
Eastern Michigan continued to dominate as it went on a 23-2 run to close out the half with a 52-point lead over Marygrove. The Eagles' 67 points ranks second in Convocation Center history for one half as the Green and White notched 72 points in the first half against Marygrove, Nov. 14, 2011.
The Green and White used a 40.7 shooting percentage, six three-pointers and 13 free throws in the first half to take the commanding lead over the Mustangs. The Eagles were led by Thomas who notched 15 points with one three-pointer, while Webb had 10 points and pulled down six rebounds in the first half of play. EMU had 12 steals, and forced 22 turnovers, including one 10-second violation.
The Eagles held Marygrove to a 22.6 shooting percentage in the first half as the Mustangs went 7-of-31 from the floor. Ciara Moore led Marygrove as she had six points, while Kierra Jordan grabbed six defensive rebounds for the Mustangs in the first half of play.
After Marygrove found the first six points of the second half, EMU went on a 22-0 run, that included eight fastbreak points. The Eagles broke the all-time single-game scoring record when Bucknor notched a three from beyond the arc to bring the EMU lead to 113-35. The previous single-game record was set Nov. 14, 2011 when the Green and White dropped 110 points on Marygrove.
The Eagles will be back in action Wednesday, Dec. 4, when they travel to Chicago, Ill. to take on Loyola-Chicago in a non-conference contest. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. CT.
