Junior guard Sydney Azorr put
\nup the first double-double of her collegiate career to snap a three-game losing skid. <\/span><\/p>\n
Last week\u2019s action opened with a loss to Central Washington in a game where the women\u2019s basketball team never had the lead. The Saturday game against Northwest Nazarene opened in a similar fashion but in the fourth quarter the Wolves came back from a 14 point deficit.<\/span><\/p>\n
The 78-75 victory over Northwest Nazarene saw four Western players put up double-digit points. Azorr led the high-scoring effort, racking up 17 points; Kennedy Corrigan contributed 14 points and Savannah Heugly and Jasmine Miller put up 12 and 10 points, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n
Azorr had 10 rebounds in addition to her goalscoring effort, keeping the Wolves in the game on the way to her double-double performance.<\/span><\/p>\n
Northwest Nazarene picked up the lead in the first few seconds of the game. The Wolves played catch-up, often coming within striking distance of tying the game. But t\"\"he lead stayed with Northwest Nazarene. At the end of the third, they had 12 points on the Wolves.<\/span><\/p>\n
Then, two and a half minutes into the fourth and final quarter, the Wolves began to turn on the heat. A three-pointer from Azorr kicked off the scoring. She soon hit a second one, then sank a pair of free throws. She led the team as they reenergized.<\/span><\/p>\n
With 1:44 left, Ali Nelke scored on a jump shot to give the Wolves the lead for the first time. Northwest Nazarene took the lead back briefly but after Azorr took a layup for two points the game stayed with the Wolves.<\/span><\/p>\n
A jump shot basket and two good free throws from Kennedy Corrigan closed the game.<\/span><\/p>\n
The team effort in the rally took the Wolves to a 7-10 record. <\/span><\/p>\n
The short losing streak was broken in time for the Wolves to grab a win from their two week road trip. They return to Monmouth this week to host Western Washington and Simon Fraser.<\/span><\/p>\n
