Box Score Monmouth led for all but two minutes in a 77-42 win over MacMurray Sunday afternoon at Glennie Gym.
Â
Led by freshmen Carley Turnbull and Shayne Smith who each pumped in 15 points, the Scots trailed only at the outset when the Highlanders hit an opening 3-pointer. Another freshman – Allie Meyers who pulled down a game-high 10 rebounds – scored the Scots' first bucket of the game and senior Keri Dodson nailed a pair of free throws to give the Scots the lead they would not surrender. Monmouth built a 49-18 halftime lead on 67 percent shooting, including draining 4-of-5 from beyond the arc.
Â
The Scots grew the margin to as much as 51 points on an Izy Todd trey with 3:18 left in the third quarter as both teams began to clear their benches. Monmouth's bench pumped in 36 points while the Scots were outscoring the Highlanders 38-18 in the paint.
Â
Yvonne Ornelas dialed in a dozen points, canning 4-of-6 3-pointers while Becca Gallis joined the double figure scorers with 10.
