The Anderson University women's basketball team (7-7, 3-4) closed the third quarter on a 19-0 run, routing Manchester University (4-10, 1-6) by a score of 86-66 during Wednesday's Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) matchup in O.C. Lewis Gymnasium.

COACH JON GIN'S COMMENTS

• It was a great team effort. We had to reset our minds after a tough week last week, but I thought we responded well.
• It's always great to play in front of the home crowd. I thought we really fed off their energy and it helped us get off to a good start defensively. We were able to force some turnovers and that jump-started our offense.
