Ashley Baker and the Lewis-Clark State College women’s basketball team made life rough for University College of Fraser Valley as the Warriors collected a 73-42 win over the Canadian visitors Wednesday at the LCSC Activity Center. 

LCSC, 11-1 and ranked No. 8 in the NAIA, forced 31 turnovers and collected 20 offensive rebounds in the contest. That helped the Warriors attempt 29 more shots from the field than the Cascades, 10-11 overall. 

Baker also gave UCFV fits as she collected another double-double with 19 points and 15 rebounds, both game highs. The 6-foot-3 senior post hit 7-of-18 shots from the field and was 5-of-9 at the foul line. She also had seven offensive rebounds. 

The Warriors used a variety of man and zone defenses to cause the Cascades all sorts of problems. LCSC guard Jade Fulbright had five of the team’s 12 steals and deflected several passes that led to turnovers. 

Despite being ill, Aundrea Morrison added 12 points, while Janeen Nelson had 11. Mandy Troutt added eight points and eight rebounds off the bench as LCSC held a 47-36 edge on the boards. 

For the game, LCSC hit 29-of-75 shots from the field for 38.7 percent. The Cascades were 16-of-46 for 34.8 percent, and just 1-of-16 from the 3-point line for 06.3 percent. 

Olivia Hunt led UCFV with eight points and eight rebounds, while Megan McAlister added eight points. 

The two teams meet again Thursday night at 6 p.m. at the LCSC Activity Center.
