Game Recap: Women's Basketball |

Jewell Holds Off Avila to Win 59-58

The William Jewell women's basketball team hosted Avila University in the Mabee center on Monday night. The Cardinals were able to seal the victory with two late free throws from redshirt sophomore Sydney Offield. Kiara Bradley paved the way for Jewell, who moved to 5-4 on the year, with 15 points and a late game three-point shot to give head coach Jill Slominski's squad the late game momentum. 

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • 1st Period: Avila was able to jump out to an early five point lead midway through the opening period. Kayla Harrell dropped in the first three point basket on the night for Jewell to end a slow start for the Cardinal offense. Back-to-back baskets from Bradley and Offield earned Jewell its first lead of the game. A layup from the Eagles with 30 seconds remaining would give Avila the two-point advantage.   
  • 2ndPeriod: Kelsi York pushed Jewell in front with an old fashioned three point play to begin the period. The Avila offense got things rolling midway through and made it a six point Eagles lead. Kalli Murphy responded with her presence underneath the basket, putting in two baskets in three possessions. The Cardinals led at the half by a score of 32-31. 
  • 3rdPeriod: Both teams began trading baskets and keeping the score within two points the entire quarter. The score was tied at 46 as the final period began. 
  • 4thPeriod: Four points from Avila to begin the final period extended the score to their largest lead of the half. With five-minutes remaining, Bradley swung the momentum and made it a four point Cardinal lead. Offield was able to ensure the Cardinal win the four points in the final two offensive possessions.
