Facing a 7-0 deficit in the first 90 seconds, the Kalamazoo Women's Basketball team fought back to cut the 7 point deficit to 21-16 with just over 11 minutes left in the game. A dry spell for 6 minutes put the Kalamazoo run to a stop as Hope ended the half on a 24-9 run distancing themselves from the Hornets by a 46-25 halftime score.
After the intermission, Hope extended the lead to 34 before the Hornets battled back showing their heart and determination. Although the final score show an 80-51 blowout, many positives resulted from the game against Hope on Saturday afternoon.
Sophomore Kelsey Johnson led the Hornets with 14 points followed by fellow Sophomore Laura Burnett who added 9 points. Kelsey Johnson also grabbed 6 rebounds. Junior Courtney Kaplan led the Hornets with 4 assists and added 6 points. Senior Nyemade Cooper contributed with 6 points and 4 rebounds.
The Hornets shot a dismal 9-22 from the free throw line and turned the ball over 30 times compared to Hopes 24 turnovers. The Hornets were also outrounded 49-28 and allowed 25 offensive boards which led to 24 Hope points.
