Big First Quarter Leads Cardinals to Win Over Avila

The William Jewell women's basketball team posted a 80-51 non-conference win over Avila University on Saturday afternoon in the Mabee Center. With the win, the Cardinals move to 5-5 on the season. 

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • 1Q: The Eagles took their only lead of the game at 1-0 as Raven Bunn hit one of two free throws before the Cardinals started their onslaught. Jewell went on a 18-4 run led by four points each from Kayla Harrell and Lindsey McCoy to go on top 27-11. A three from Annemarie Boeh as time expired gave Jewell their biggest lead of the quarter at 30-13. 
  • 2Q: Jewell expanded their lead to as many as 24, taking advantage seven turnovers by the Eagles in the second quarter. 
  • 3Q: After the break the Cards continued to build their lead to as many as 38 by the end of the frame. Boeh again closed the quarter with a score, grabbing a steal and going coast to coast for the finish to put Jewell on top 70-32 heading in to the final ten minutes.  
  • 4Q: A jumper from Harrell with just under nine minutes to play gave the Cardinals their biggest lead of the game at 75-33 before the Jewell bench got involved. Macyn Wilbers came in to score four points over the final eight minutes to help put the game on ice. 

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • The Cardinal bench outscored the Avila bench 26-12. 
  • Jewell shot a season best 53 percent from the floor and 40 percent from behind the three point line which is second best this season.
TURNING POINT
  • A three pointer from Kaiti Butaud with under three minutes remaining in the first quarter pushed the Jewell lead into double figures at 12 points. 

LEADERS OF THE FLIGHT
  • Harrell poured in a season high 23 points on 8-of-14 shooting to lead all scorers. Hayden Butler followed with 15 points on 6-of-9 from the floor. 
  • Katie Finn collected a career-high seven assists. 
  • McCoy posted seven points, nine rebounds, four steals, one block and one assist.
