Women’s basketball edges past Stevenson in conference opener

OWINGS MILLS, Md. - Hood College's Morgan Anderson had 16 points and 12 rebounds to lead the women's basketball team to a 58-53 win at Stevenson University in the first Middle Atlantic Conference Commonwealth game of the season. 

Inside the Box Score 
  • Anderson recorded her second double-double of the season. The senior added three assists, two steals and a block to her stat line. 
  • Tiffany Manning finished with 10 points, eight rebounds and the team-high four assists. 
How it Happened 
  • Anderson got going early as she scored seven of her 16 points in the first quarter, but the Blazers trailed 16-13. Hood held the Mustangs to 11 points in the second on just 4-of-18 shooting and forced six turnovers to claim a 28-27 lead at halftime. 
  • After Stevenson reclaimed the lead with the first five points of the second half, the Blazers scored the next six points to take a 34-32 lead on a free throw by Anderson with 5:50 left in the third. Denia Campbell tied the game for the Mustangs before Jenna Davis-Hans drove to the hoop, made the layup and was fouled. The first-year knocked down the free throw to give Hood the lead for the rest of the quarter.  
  •  Hood carried a 43-41 lead into the fourth, but back-to-back scores by Stevenson gave the Mustangs a two-point edge. The two teams were tied three times before the Blazers took a 53-51 lead on a basket by Anderson with 3:19 to go and Hood never trailed again. 
Analysis 
  • Led by a career-high nine points from Bre Smith, the Blazers held an advantage in bench scoring 26-12. 
  • The Mustangs edged the Blazers 14-6 in fast break points. 
  • Hood, who ranks among the Division III leaders in 3-point field goal defense, held Stevenson to just 3-of-19 beyond the arc (16 percent). 
For the Opponent 
  • Campbell and Aysia Ferguson led Stevenson with 16 points each. Campbell added six rebounds and two assists while Ferguson notched three steals. 
  • Kellie Johnson grabbed a game high 13 rebounds. Olivia Coleman finished with six blocks and 10 rebounds.
