Knights Come Up Short at C of I

CALDWELL, Idaho – Despite a career best five three-pointers from Kyeli Hendryx, Warner Pacific fell to College of Idaho, 77-71, tonight at the J.A. Albertson Center.

Both teams started quickly, as C of I sprinted out to a 12-7 lead in the opening three minutes, but five quick Daesha Jackson points and a Kasara Brandenburg three gave the Knights (8-9, 1-3) the lead.  A Jordan Wilcox triple extended the margin to 24-20, but four quick Natasha Dacic points started a Coyote 15-6 run, capped by a Hayley Burnham three, giving the Yotes a 35-30 lead just before the break.
 
The Lady Yotes lead would extend to 55-47 on an Aleah Lowber trey with 13 minutes remaining, but a pair of Megan Tullis buckets, a put-back by Brett Larson, and a Wilcox lead helped WP score nine-straight points to retake the lead.  The teams would exchange the lead six times until a Hendrix three and a Larson lay-up gave the Knights a 66-62 lead with five minutes remaining. C of I would pull even at 68-68 on two Dacic free throws, but a long Brandenburg three gave WP their final lead – as the visitors went 0-for-6 with two turnovers the rest of the way.
 
Hayley Burnham scored a career-high 24 points, including the go-ahead basket with under two minutes remaining,adding five rebounds.  Lowber scored 16 points, with five rebounds and five assists, with Jones recording 11 points and five steals.  Dacic recorded career-highs with six points and seven rebounds.
 
Hendryx led WP with 15 points, going 5-of-9 from outside the arc – as the Knights made a Cascade Conference season-high 13 three-pointers, while attempted a league-most 41 attempts.  Jackson had 12 points, with Larson and Lindsay Loe each scoring 10.  The Knights had a 45-35 rebound edge, but committed 16 turnovers in the loss.
