TECH WOMEN SWEEP WAYNE STATE WITH 73-58 WIN

Box Score

HOUGHTON, Mich. — Four players scored in double figures to lead No. 14 Michigan Tech to its sixth straight win — a 73-58 triumph over Wayne State in Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference women's basketball today at the SDC Gym. Starters Katie Wysocky and Sarah Stream combined for 35 points while Lisa Staehlin and Alicia Schneider totaled 22 points off the bench to lift the Huskies to 8-1 overall and 5-0 in league play.

Tech outscored the Warriors (2-6, 1-4 GLIAC) 40-25 in the second half, but the margin was still just four points with less than six minutes to play before the hosts pulled away.

Wysocky made a layup, assisted on a Stream 3-pointer and made two free throws in the next two minutes to push gap to eight. Stream knocked down back-to-back jumpers before Lisa Staehlin's three-point play put the Huskies up 68-56. It all but sealed the win with 1:25 to go.

Michigan Tech stroked 22-of-26 field goal attempts (55 percent) and 23-of-26 free throw attempts (89 percent) for the game. The Huskies also held a 33-23 rebounding margin while holding WSU to 39 percent from the floor.

"We sharpened up the defense in the second half, and they missed some shots they were making in the first half," said head coach John Barnes. "The bench gave us a big lift today, and I thought Stream made some really big shots."

Wysocky posted her third straight double-double and fifth this season with 18 points and 11 rebounds. She also added four assists in the win. Stream totaled 17 points and four rebounds.

Staehlin turned in a season high in points even though she only made one field goal. The sophomore went to the foul line 11 times and cashed in on 10 of them.

Schneider accounted for 10 points with a pair of timely 3-pointers in the mix.

Wayne State was led by Jasmine McCall, who had 23 points but just seven in the second half.

Michigan Tech will now have eight days off over Christmas before returning to action. The Huskies will next host Minnesota Duluth on Monday, December 29, at the SDC Gym.

Notes: Combined with its 62-55 win at Wayne State on Dec. 4, the Huskies claimed the season sweep over the Warriors ... Katie Zimmerman moved within two of breaking the career 3-point field goals record. The junior hit two in the game to run her total to 139 made 3-pointers.
