THUNDER BAY – SPORTS – The Lakehead Thunderwolves women’s basketball team swept the Algoma Thunderbirds in an 87-65 win today in the Thunderdome.
“Great to get two wins at home but again we struggled to defend. Proud of Kielly McDonough on her play this weekend and Jerika was amazing distributing the ball with 24 assists to 4 turnovers (total),” says Coach Jon Kreiner.
The Thunderwolves again started today’s game off strong capturing the lead early on. Lakehead led 46-29 at the half and although Algoma began to find scoring opportunities in the third, the Thunderwolves continued to push for the 87-65 win.
Leashja Grant led the Wolves with 26 points, 12 rebounds and Lily Gruber Schulz had 17 points. Jerika Baldin had 13 assists tonight with 4 steals. Kielly McDonough went 3-4 from the three.
Lakehead will play more non-conference games next weekend in Manitoba before the regular season begins.
