Box Score

The UW-Parkside women's basketball team didn't take too kindly to having their eight-game winning streak snapped at Bellarmine. Two days later (Monday night), the Rangers took it out on Kentucky Wesleyan, pounding the Panthers to the tune of 75-52 in Owensboro.

The win lofts UW-Parkside's resounding record to 11-2 overall. The team is 3-1 in Great Lakes Valley Conference play. Kentucky Wesleyan saw its five-game winning streak come to an end are are now 8-4 overall and 1-2 in league action.

The Panthers started strong, with a 7-2 lead. Their guests then went on an 11-0 run and never trailed. 

The Rangers led, 30-22, at halftime.

Like the very beginning of the first half, KWC came out of the gates quickly in the second stanza. This time, the team scored the first six points of the second half in cutting the gap to 30-28. History repeated itself as the Rangers went on another 11-0 run and cruised to victory.

Brittany Hogen led all scorers with 25 points. The Ranger center made good on nine of her 10 shots from the floor and seven of nine from the free throw line.

Brittany Beyer dented double digits with 11 points. She added a game-high eight rebounds.

Amanda Gibson logged 14 points to go with nine assists and a pair of steals.

The Rangers rebounded from a cool shooting night two days prior by knocking down 56 percent of their shots from the floor. They connected on 18 of 23 free throws.
