Dec 1, 2007 | Women's Basketball
All 12 University of Nebraska-Omaha players scored to give the Mavericks a 69-56 victory over Metro State in the final game of the Downtown DoubleTree Classic Saturday night at Sapp Fieldhouse.
Alyssa Green was the top scorer for UNO (6-1) for the third time this year with 14 points. Jill Wolf set a career high in leading the Mavs with 10 rebounds. Ashley Nelson scored 11 points, with Ellen Majewski and Cayla Hargrove scoring nine each.
UNO got off to a slow start, seeing the Roadrunners (3-3) jump out to a 10-2 lead. But a three-point play from Green got the Mavs rolling, going on a 16-4 run to take an 18-14 lead midway through the half. The shooting stayed consistent, as UNO took a 33-27 lead into the intermission.
The Mavs would extend the lead to as many as 22 points with 7:43 left in the game. Metro State made a late surge, but the margin was too much to overcome, as the Roadrunners could never get within less than 11 points.
Rae Bean scored 15 points off the bench for the Roadrunners, leading all players, with Anne-Marie Torp adding 14. Chelsea Williamson was the team's top rebounder with six.
The Mavericks will be back in action Tuesday, hosting Peru State at 6 p.m.
