Box Score McMurry University put on a clinic in beating Southwestern University 76-44 Saturday, Nov. 18 in Kimbrell Arena.

Needing to hit the reset button after their first loss of the season, the Lady War Hawks did so in a big way. The University of Dallas defeated McMurry 80-64 last Wednesday.

Junior guard/forward Emily Holland (Mansfield, Texas), sophomore forward/center Aryana Cleveland (San Antonio, Texas) and junior post Katie Hale (Decatur, Texas) each scored 11 points. Holland and Hale both nailed three 3-pointers while freshman wing Gracie Garcia (The Woodlands, Texas) added two. Coach Drew Long's team was 11 of 32 from long distance.

Thirteen players got their name in the scorer's book. McMurry led 40-14 at halftime and its largest lead was 38 points about halfway in the fourth quarter.

Cleveland was the top rebounder with 10 as she had five on offense and five on defense. Sophomore guard Kylie Flippin (Wichita Falls, Texas) was a perfect 4 of 4 at the free-throw line. Senior guard/forward Jada Morris (Forney, Texas) led the team with three of the total 11 steals. Flippin and Morris each blocked a shot.

The win came at a crucial time in the young season as the American Southwest Conference games start right after Thanksgiving.
