The Lady Saints basketball team beat the Chemeketa Storm 87-65 last Saturday in Salem for their second win in a row.
The Saints leading scorers were Shawnelle Campbell and Brooklyn Bahme with 29 and 22 points, respectively.
Campbell scored three of the Saints eight three-pointers and made 11 out of 17 shots from the field.
The leading scorer for Chemeketa was Erin Stephens with 18 points.
MHCC and Chemeketa were very close in attempted shots. The Saints attempting 73 field goals and the Storm attempted 68, but the Saints made 47.9 percents of their shots, while the Storm made 33.8 percent of their shots.
The Saints made 44.4 percent of their three-point shots while the Storm completed 31.3 percent of their shots.
MHCC led by eight points going into the second half, by a score of 39-31, and stepped up in the second half outscoring the Storm 48-34.
Only seven MHCC players dressed for the game compared to 12 players from Chemeketa.
“One of our girls was injured and another was suspended,” said Head Coach Larry Davis. Davis declined to say which player was suspended or the reason for the action but said, “We just want to keep it in house and it stays within the team.”
The Saints are now in fourth place in the NWAACC Southern Region, while Chemeketa sits in sixth.
Lane and Clackamas have already clinched spots in the playoffs from the Southern Region. Four teams from each region advance to the NWAACC tournament.
“We really are not looking at teams below us,” said Davis. “We are just taking it one game at a time and trying to improve our position for the tournament.”
The Saints have a busy week ahead, with home games against Umpqua tonight at 5:30 p.m. and SWOCC on Saturday at 4 p.m., followed by a Wednesday night game against Lane at 5:30 p.m.
Davis said, “As long as we play our game and our tempo, we will be okay.”
