NO. 14 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL CRUISES TO 91-30 WIN OVER FINLANDIA

Box Score

HOUGHTON, Mich. — The 14th-ranked Michigan Tech women's basketball team cruised to a 91-30 win over Finlandia in its home opener tonight. All 12 available Huskies scored and the hosts limited the Lions to 28.6 field goal percentage in the contest.

"We came out and played with intensity the entire game," said head coach John Barnes. "Our bench players came in and kept it going in the right direction for us.

"It was a good all-around win, but we'll quickly turn our focus on Northern Michigan and Saturday's game."

Finlandia (0-9) scored the first four points of the game before Tech answered with a 22-3 run. Lindsey Lindstrom drained three 3-pointers in the final nine minutes of the half as the Huskies' lead grew to 45-15 by halftime.

The Black and Gold continued where they left off in the first half as Sarah Stream drained a 30-foot 3-pointer to beat the shot clock just 45 seconds into the second stanza. The margin continued to grow through the final horn as the largest lead for Tech was the final score.

Lindstrom held game-high scoring honors with 13 points. She started the contest a perfect 4-of-4 from 3-point range. Fellow freshmen Lynn Giesler and Jessica Racine both set career highs in points with 12 and seven, respectively. Katie Wysocky also reached double figures in points with 12.

Tech shot 52 percent from the field and an impressive 10-of-18 (55.6 percent) from 3-point range. The Huskies committed just seven turnovers compared to FU's 29.

Michigan Tech improved its record to 5-1 with the win. The Huskies will remain at home to host arch rival Northern Michigan Saturday (Dec. 13). Tipoff is slated for 5:30 p.m.
