Tenth-ranked Campbellsville University broke the 100-point scoring mark for the second straight game when Campbellsville native
Alexia Williams hit a lay-up in the final minute of a 100-73 victory over NCAA Division II school King College Saturday afternoon.
King (4-5) took a 7-0 lead during the first three minutes of the game before
Whitney Ballinger scored the Lady Tigers' first points, 7-2. Ballinger went on to produce 31 points in 23 minutes of play, her second-best offensive showing of her career.
CU trailed the first seven minutes until
Wendi Messer hit
back-to-back 3-pointers to turn an 11-7 game into a 13-11 Lady Tiger
lead. Messer was 3-for-3 beyond the arc in the first half and finished
with 13 points. The six-point swing by Messer ignited a 20-7 run by CU
over the next five minutes. Campbellsville went on to lead by 21 at the
half, 57-36.
King College leading scorer Ashley Deans scored 11 points during the first four minutes of the second half as King cut its deficit in half, 65-54. Deans, who averages15.9 points per game, led all scorers with 32 points. The second half rally by the Tornados came with the help of seven quick fouls by Campbellsville, putting King in the bonus with 14 minutes to play. However, the Lady Tigers did not allow King to get a point closer. CU's lead grew to as many as 28 points in the second half, 92-64, with 7:50 to play.
