3/1/2014 4:31:00 PM | Women's Basketball
Grand Canyon finished the road portion of its Western Athletic Conference regular season with a convincing 69-38 victory over Chicago State at Jones Convocation Center in Chicago, Saturday.
It was GCU's third win in its last four WAC road games and upped the team's record to 19-8 overall and 8-6 in the WAC. The Antelopes, with two games remaining next week at home, are one win away from their 20th win for the fourth straight year. The program has reached 19 wins in six of seven seasons under head coach Trent May.
"It was good to go on the last road trip of the regular season and get two wins (including Thursday's victory at Kansas City), great preparation from our staff and players." said May.
Grand Canyon held Chicago State scoreless for nearly 16 minutes. The Cougars went without a point from the 11:51 mark of the first half until only 15:53 was left in the game. During that time GCU extended a 13-12 lead to 39-12.
"We were locking them down and in the right spots at the right time," said May.
GCU led 31-12 at the half, holding the Cougars to only four first-half field goals and 14.8 (4-for-27) percent shooting. Chicago State shot only 26.8 percent for the game. GCU hit 62.5 percent of its shots (15-for-24) in the second half. The Antelopes bench out-scored Cougar subs 34-3.
"We had good minutes contributed by everybody," said May.
All 11 that played scored, led by Asha McDonnell and Kaitlyn Petersen with 12 and 10 points, respectively. Johnna Brown had eight points and 11 rebounds. Petersen added six assists. Erica Paskell had a career-high six rebounds. August Touchard had eight points and a career-best five steals.
Chicago State dropped to 3-24 and 0-14 in the WAC.
GCU finishes the regular season with two games next week at Antelope Gymnasium. New Mexico State comes in for a Thursday 7 p.m. contest and Texas Pan-American will be the opponent for Saturday's Senior Day. Tip-off is at 2 p.m. Fans unable to attend can follow live links at www.gculopes.com.
