Ravens Take Down Redhawks

The Anderson University women's basketball team took down Miami-University Middletown with a 70-54 victory during the third-place game of the Wilmington Tournament on Saturday in Wilmington, Ohio.
 
Anderson (1-2) had already faced two tough opponents in Ohio Northern University (1-0) and Wilmington Tournament Champion Denison University (3-0). Their win against Miami-Middletown (1-4) capped off Anderson's third game of the week.
 
"We are finishing up a tough stretch of three games in five days," Coach Lindsay Shade said. "It's great to get the first win under our belts."
 
The Ravens committed 15 turnovers while the Redhawks turned the ball over 20 times.
 
Anderson tallied an assist on 22 of its 27 field goals. The Ravens converted 27-of-59 (45.8 percent) shots from the field while the Redhawks hit 18-of-52 (34.6 percent) attempts from the floor.
 
"I thought we did a much better job of taking care of the ball. But, I was most pleased with the way we shared the basketball offensively. There were several opportunities where we made the extra pass, giving up a good shot for a better shot. I think our field goal percentage is reflective of that unselfishness."
 
Hannah Hawkins (Fairmount, Ind./Madison-Grant) recorded 17 points, nine rebounds and two blocks to lead the Ravens in all three categories. Payton Moore (Spiceland, Ind./Tri) and Lexi Dellinger (Berne, Ind./South Adams) contributed 11 points apiece while Carly Hackler (New Palestine, Ind./New Palestine) turned in seven points.
 
Jade Shipley (Westfield, Ind./Westfield) notched nine points. Rylee Morris (Indianapolis, Ind./Lutheran) provided seven points and Kaitlynn Anzel (West Chester, Ohio/Bishop Fenwick) scored four points.
 
"We also had a nice spark off the bench with solid contributions from Jade, Rylee, and Kaitlynn."
 
Mariah Clemons (Maineville, Ohio/Little Miami) and Shelby Miller (Winchester, Ind./Winchester) rounded out Anderson's scoring with two points apiece.

Shipley and Hackley dished out five assists apiece while Dellinger added four assists. Hackler also collected three steals.
 
Anderson battles Alma College (2-2) next Saturday at 2 p.m. in Alma, Mich.
