The Lady Jackets of Defiance College won yet another road game, 77-65 over Anderson University Wednesday night in Anderson, Indiana.
DC shot 32-of-35 from the line, with senior Sarah Kuhn hitting 10-of-10 attempts. The Defiance native finished with 14 points to tie teammates Meta Gerding and Jill Evans for the team lead. In a game slowed by fouls, DC hit 47% of their field goal attempts and outscored AU in the paint, 32-26. Gerding added a team-high four assists and three steals, while Meghann Savard led Defiance with five boards.
Evans played 33 minutes at the point, controlling the game and committing only one turnover. Savard, Paula Sayen and Jessica Mast also scored in double-figures, combining for 35 points and 7-for-7 free-throw shooting.
The Jackets led 37-30 at the half, with Gerding scoring nine first-half points. Defiance held the league’s reigning MVP and leading scorer, Angel Hall to 3-of-12 shooting from three-point range and 33% shooting. Hall did finish with 21 points while no other Raven scored in double figures.
Defeating AU puts the Jackets in a tie for first place in the Heartland Conference with Franklin, who defeated Manchester on Wednesday night.
DC outrebounded Anderson by one, 31-30 and turned the ball over less (15-16) to earn their fourth HCAC win of the season and improve to 12-4 on the season. The Lady Jackets next travel to Hanover on Saturday to face the 7-8 (2-3 HCAC) Panthers.
