Balanced Attack Lead Storm Women to Win Over Chaminade

Box Score HONOLULU – The Dixie State University women's basketball team won its third consecutive game on Saturday night as they cruised to a 93-69 Pacific West Conference win over Chaminade University in Honolulu, HI.

Four Red Storm (5-6, 3-2 PWC) players finished in double figures, with junior guard Kaylah Miller (San Diego, CA/La Jolla Country Day) leading the way with 15 points. Sophomore center Taylor Mann (Castle Dale, UT/Emery) finished with her second double double in as many games with 14 points and 12 rebounds.

The very balanced Dixie State attack saw all twelve players who saw action register pointers. The Red Strom shot 30-78 from the field for 38.5 percent from the field.

"This was a great team win," said head coach Catherria Turner. "Every player scored and we were able to work out some of the kinks in our transition offense."

After trailing 2-0, the Red Storm never trailed again and built a lead as many as 30 points with 5:25 remaining in the contest.

DSU outrebounded the Silverswords (1-8, 1-2 PWC) 61-38 and converted the 24 CUH turnovers into 15 points. The Storm also added 40 points in the paint and connected on 29-39 from the free throw line.

"We are playing more as a team and tonight was a real show of what we are capable of," concluded Turner.

The Red Storm concludes their Hawaiian road trip with a matinee on Monday at Hawaii Pacific. Tip-off is scheduled for 3 p.m. HT (6 p.m. MT) from Blaisdell Arena.
