DUE WEST, S.C. - With four players reaching double figures, the
Anderson women's basketball team opened a brief two-game road swing
by cruising past Erskine, 88-56, Wednesday night at Belk
Arena.
Anderson (5-3) won its fourth consecutive decision and fifth in
its last six outings, while claiming its 10th consecutive win past
Erskine and 14 of the last 15 meetings versus the Flying Fleet.
Erskine fell to 2-3 on the season while dropped its second
straight.
The Trojans opened the game by scoring the first eight points
and never trailed, holding the Flying Fleet scoreless through the
first 4:22. Erskine senior guard Porsha Morgan got the Fleet on the
scoreboard with a jumper, but Anderson countered with 10 unanswered
points to build an 18-2 cushion with 13:13 remaining in the opening
half and held a 37-18 halftime lead.
Junior forward Tilde Ahlin and freshman guard Sierra Simpson
shared game-high scoring honors with 16 points apiece, with the
tallies representing career-highs for both players. Simpson also
equaled her career-high with seven rebounds, while handing out a
career-best five assists and grabbing four steals. Guard Alissa
Diaz added 13 points and five assists and teammate Amanda Parris
chipped in 11 points and handed out a game-high six assists.
Freshman center Jaclyn Moore collected a career-high eight rebounds
in just 16 minutes of action.
Morgan scored 13 points for Erskine.
The 13 3-pointers were a season-high for the Trojans and the
most since also connecting on 13 treys at Newberry last February,
while the 88 points was the highest offensive output since
defeating St. Andrews, 103-63, on March 1, 2009.
Anderson wraps up the road swing at USC Aiken on Monday, then
welcomes the Pacers to the Abney Center on Dec. 17. Tip-off in
Aiken is scheduled for 7 p.m.
