YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – Eastern Michigan University women's basketball senior Phillis Webb (Brooklyn Park, Minn.- Osseo) continued her assault on the EMU record books Saturday, Feb. 4 against Central Michigan University, as she moved ever closer to 1,000 points and 700 rebounds in her career. Entering the game needing 32 points and 12 rebounds to surpass each distinguished mark, Webb posted 13 and 11 to inch ever closer. Overall, it was the 11th double-double of her career, a total that ranks 10th in program-history.
EMU could not slow down the high-powered Chippewa offense, as CMU notched a 104-63 victory at the Convocation Center. Central, which drilled nine three-pointers on the afternoon, used a 21-6 run midway through second quarter to build a lead they would never surrender. With the loss Eastern Michigan drops to 6-16 (1-8 MAC), while Central Michigan improved its mark to 16-6 (8-2 MAC).
Playing with a limited bench of just eight dressed players, EMU was led by Sasha Dailey (Toledo, Ohio-Rogers) with 25 points on 10-of-25 shooting to go along four triples. Micah Robinson (Ann Arbor, Mich.-Huron) chipped in 11 points and a career-high 10 while Tori Easley (Toledo, Ohio-Rogers) had her first career double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.
CMU, which entered the contest ranked 35th nationally in scoring offense, put six players in double figures, led by Tinara Moore with 27 points and 13 rebounds. Reyna Frost added 15 points while four other Chippewas added 10.
The Chips set the nets on fire, hitting 52.5 percent (42-for-80) from the field, while EMU managed a 34.7 percent (26-for-75) clip. Additionally, Central scored 30 points off of second chance opportunities.
After a quick three-pointer by CMU to open the scoring, each side was efficient from the field, combining to make seven of the first nine shots. Presley Hudson pushed the Chippewas' edge to six, 12-6, at the 6:23 mark, however, Webb and Easley promptly answered with a score of her own to keep the Eagles within striking distance.
The lead would grow to as many as nine, 20-11, on a Moore jumper with 1:10 showing on the first quarter clock. EMU finished the stanza just 1-for-6 breaking the seal on the bucket just once over the final 4:10 of the quarter.
EMU tried to be aggressive and drive against the CMU defense, which entered the game giving up an average of 69.9 points per contest, but were whistled for its third charge of the game just 37 seconds into the second quarter. Jewel Cotton's made the mistake count as her layup at the 8:19 mark pushed it 24-13 in favor of the visitors and forced Head Coach Fred Castro to call a timeout.
Dailey did her best to keep her team in it with all 10 of EMU's points in the second quarter. The high-octane offense of CMU outscored EMU 21-6 over the final 7:10, as the lead grew to 24, 47-23, at the half. The Maroon and Gold, which scored 32 points in the paint, were paced by a double-double by Moore with 20 points and 11 rebounds. Dailey keyed EMU with 12 points to go along with six from her high school teammate Easley.
Following the break, Central Michigan used a balanced effort to convert on seven of its first eight shots to push the margin to 38, 69-31, at the five minute mark of the third quarter. Despite scoring 23 points in the third, EMU was unable to get any closer than 36 points the remainder of the game. The 23 point output was tied for the fourth highest output by Eastern in a quarter in 2016-17.
The Eagles return to the road Wednesday, Feb. 8, for a trip to Kent, Ohio, to battle the resurgent Golden Flashes of Kent State University. Game time is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Memorial Athletic and Convocation Center in Kent, Ohio. Chad Bush will have the call on WEMU (89.1 FM) beginning at 6:50 p.m.
Looking ahead, Eastern Michigan will be home again Saturday, Feb. 11, for its annual Play4Kay game against Miami University. Tipoff from the Convocation Center is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Fans attending the game that wear pink will be admitted for just $5. In addition, there will be a silent auction to benefit breast cancer awareness.
