One-Way Traffic

WATERTOWN, Wis. -- It was all one-way traffic on the MBU campus this afternoon, and the Sabercats now have back-to-back wins.

Callie Morrison put up 17 points, and the Sabercats took a convincing 42-point win over Association Free Lutheran Bible School.

  • Result: Maranatha 72-30 AFLBS
  • Venue: MBU Gymnasium
  • Location: Watertown, Wis.
  • Attendance: 51
  • Records: MBU (4-5), AFLBS (4-6)

Callie Morrison put up five quick points in the first quarter, and the Sabercats saw right from the start that it was going to be an easier win than last Saturday. The Conquerors took advantage of a couple of free looks, though, and managed to post seven points in the opening quarter.

MBU forced the issue in the second act, as they allowed The Association to match them in the early minutes. Morrison upped her count to 12, and she didn't miss a shot in the opening half, going 5-5 from the field to lead the offensive efforts. By halftime, the Sabercats had almost doubled up the Conquerors, leading 34-18.

The Sabercats got into an offensive rhythm in the third quarter to post 26 points on the Conquerors, Jacklyn Simpson and Kelsey Johnson both got into double digits in the third act, and the Sabercats limited the visitors to just 4 points.

The third quarter ended with a 64-22 score on the board, and the Sabercats were coasting to the finish line from that point on. Graceanne Starr registered her first collegiate points in the fourth, as both teams scored eight to finalize the score at 72-30 in favor of MBU.
