Alma, MI – Alma College Women's Basketball hosted Kalamazoo College in MIAA play on Wednesday night. On a night where a 27-year-old career record fell, the Scots were able to pull away from Kzoo and win 94-63.
 
The game opened with both teams swinging out of their corners. The teams combined for 28 points in the first 5 minutes of the game, with both sides drawing out a 14-14 stalemate. However, the scoring that kept up for Alma did not keep up for the visitors. Back-to-back threes from Cadence Kaminski fueled a 13-4 run to end the quarter with Alma leading 26-18.
 
The Scots scored on a pair of layups to open up the second quarter, before Kalamazoo found their scoring stride once more. An 11-5 run from the Hornets pulled the Alma lead down to 6 at 5:42. The home five responded with a 10-0 run, highlighted by three Taylor Sas layups to push the advantage to 45-29 Scots at the halftime break.
 
Quarter 3 started off once again as a fairly even match. Alma outscored K 10-9 in the first half of the quarter, with the numbers nearly identical for each team. However, the Scots scored on 6 of their final 7 shots in the period, going 2-2 from downtown to pull out a 14-8 run. That push allowed the hosts to push the lead to 23, with the score 69-46 after three.
 
Alma flexed their depth in the fourth quarter, with a number of players seeing the floor, and finding the scoresheet. One of the more interesting stat lines came from sophomore Emmerson Goodin, who collected 6 rebounds, all of them offensive boards, in just 5 minutes of play. The Scots connected on 3 three-pointers in the first half of the final quarter. Megan Leslie in particular seemed to catch fire for a short stretch, knocking down back-to-back longballs in the run. Sami Stormont's team closed on a 12-7 run to win 94-63.
 
A special moment came at the 5:09 mark of the 4^th. Taylor Sas connected on her 2^nd three pointer of the night. That strike from downtown marked the 206^th three point make of Sas' career. The 206 takes down a 27-year-old record for most made three pointers in a Scots uniform.
 
Taylor Sas (18 Points, 3 Rebounds, 2 Assists) Maddie Robbins (16 Points, 4 Rebounds, 3 Assists) and Brooke LeRoux (10 Points, 8 Rebounds, 5 Assists) were big contributors in the win.
 
Alma moves to 12-12 and 8-7 in MIAA play. With the Scots final MIAA position of 5^th locked up, the team looks to big home date with nationally ranked MIAA Champion Hope College to close the regular season on Saturday.
