Tademy sets assist record as Women's Hoops Lanced by California Baptist

The Dixie State women's basketball team came out on the wrong end of a 93-64 decision Saturday night against California Baptist at the Burns Arena.

Despite trailing by as many as 39 points in the second half, the Storm still found a way to make history. Leslie Tademy (Phoenix, Ariz./South Mountain) became the all-time career assists leader in the third quarter when she found Taylor Mann (Castle Dale, Utah/Emery), who finished with a layup. Tademy would add two more assists to push her career total to 235.

Dixie State (4-15, 4-9 PacWest) stayed close through the first half of the opening quarter, cutting to lead to three points on a Brianna Jessop (Hyrum, Utah/Mountain Crest) 3-pointer and later back to four points after Aliya Davis (Everett, Wash./Woodcreek) stole the ball from CBU guard Courtney Nelson and finished with a transition layup. But the Lancers responded with a 19-2 over the next five minutes to seize a control of the game they would not relinquish.

CBU picked up where it left off in the second quarter and extended its lead past the 30-point mark. The Storm tried to respond, but the Lancers answered each basket, keeping DSU from recording consecutive field goals until late in the third quarter.

The Storm made their best push of the game midway through the fourth quarter with an 11-4 run, a stretch that included a 7-0 run as Ashlee Burge (Riverton, Utah/Herriman) scored on back-to-back layups. The teams traded baskets from there, and the Lancers left the Burns Arena with the victory.

"That was a tough game tonight," head coach Jenny Thigpin said. "Our lack of effort and energy hurt us early. But, the team never gave up. That's what I like most about this group. They will always find a way to fight until the end."

Dixie State shot 31 percent (22-of-70) from the field, 25 percent (5-of-20) from beyond the arc, and 62 percent (15-of-24) from the free throw line. Mann led three scorers in double figures with 15 points and 14 rebounds for her 15th double-double of the season, moving her within one double-double of tying Johnna Brown's single-season record of 16 (2012-13). Davis finished with 14 points on 6-of-12 shooting from the field and Burge added 10 points and three rebounds.

DSU continues its five-game homestand next week with games against Academy of Art on Thursday and Fresno Pacific on Saturday. Both games are set for a 5 p.m. tipoff.
