Stefanie Berberabe scored a game-high 21 points to go along with a game-high seven assists and seven rebounds, and Sydney Brown had a season-high 18 points in Westmont’s 86-33 rout of Ottawa in a Golden State Athletic Conference women’s basketball game in Surprise, Ariz., on Saturday.
The NAIA No. 2-ranked Warriors(8-1, 2-1) outrebounded OUAZ 50-29, and held the Spirit to a 21.6% clip from the field (11-51) en route to their third consecutive win.
“I’m really proud of how sharp we played all day,” said Westmont head coach Kirsten Moore. “On both ends of the floor, we were pretty consistent. On Thursday, we had really good spurts but couldn’t sustain the energy or the focus level. Today, I thought we came in with the right focus and energy and kept it throughout the game.”
Iyree Jarrett and Destiny Okonkwo were also in double-digits with 11 points each, while Aleena Cook contributed with nine points and eight rebounds. Kaitlin Larson had a big game on the boards as the senior led the club with 11 rebounds in only 15 minutes of play.
“Individually, there were a lot of great things,” noted Moore. “It was great to have Kaitlin Larson back in there, and to see her grab 11 boards was big. Stef’s overall line was great, and Syd was super-efficient, going 8-10 from the floor and getting it done on the boards as well.
“Destiny Okonkwo off the bench gave up a great spark on both ends of the floor. We track something we call ‘grit-goals’ and she led us in those today. She was making things happen.”
