Houston, Terry, Daniels Too Strong in Paint for Andrews

The Lady RedHawks picked up their 15^th win of the season and outpacing Andrews University (Berrien Springs, MI) to the tune of 78-49 Thursday night at the IU Northwest Savannah Center. The RedHawk post-game proved dominating for IU Northwest as Sharon Houston, Ish Sha Terry and Kym Daniels combined for 47 points and 35 rebounds. Houston led the way 25 points, 16 rebounds 5 assists, 3 blocks and 3 steals. Terry added 14 points and 11 boards while Daniels continued her strong play with 8 points and 9 rebounds.

The RedHawk transition game appeared sharp in the first half aided by crisp passing and hustling RedHawks filling the lanes. The highlight of the evening may have been the 6'4" Houston leading the fast break and finding a streaking Amanda Pennington for a basket and a foul as Pennington completed the 3-point play. IU Northwest started the game a bit sluggish, however was quickly able to gain control and held a 45-27 advantage at the half. "We have been doing a much better job of passing the ball in the past two games, it definitely makes us a better team and it seems like we have more fun when we're able to do that, hopefully it continues" said Head Coach Ryan Shelton. IU Northwest recorded 19 assists on the night after registering 15 on Saturday in a win over Marygrove. The RedHawks were only able to record season-low 2 assists in a loss last week to IU SouthBend. "We have too many talented players on our roster to not share the ball better, it took a while, but slowly we're beginning to have more confidence in each other" added Shelton.
