HOUGHTON, Mich. - The No. 8-ranked Michigan Tech women's basketball team buried a school-record 17 3-pointers en route to an 89-49 win over Lake Erie in the first-ever meeting between the teams. The Huskies shot 73 percent from long range and 63 percent from the field overall to improve to 21-2 and 16-1 in league play.

The Storm (3-20, 2-15 GLIAC) scored the first basketball of the game, but it was all Tech from there. Sam Hoyt buried back-to-back 3-pointers for a 13-4 lead at the 15:28 mark. Five straight points from Krista Kasuboski made it a 27-8 score at the 8:24 mark. Hoyt's fourth triple of the half at the 1:51 mark widened the gap to 26.

Even a 30-foot heave from Lucy Dernovsek at the buzzer went in for the Black and Gold. The margin at half was 44-17.

Tech continued to blister the nets in the second half. Kasuboski got hot with three more treys in the frame. She eventually tallied a career-high 16 points and tied Hoyt for game-high scoring honors.

Head coach Kim Cameron went to the bench liberally in the second half. Tech's three seniors-Dernovsek, Angela Guisfredi and Lisa Staehlin-all received a nice ovation as they left the floor at the 4:52 mark on Senior Day.

"Our veterans really set the tone for us today," said Cameron. "Then I was really happy with the way our younger kids came in. They played hard and extended the lead. I think they all got better today."
