Huskies pour in 27 fourth quarter points, earn 71-64 win over UW-Parkside

KENOSHA, Wis. – St. Cloud State Women's Basketball (2-0, 0-0 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference) picked up a 71-64 win over UW-Parkside (1-2, 0-0 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference) on Saturday afternoon in Kenosha at De Simone Arena in its first road game of the season.

It took nearly 30 minutes for the Huskies offense to start clicking on all cylinders, as they trailed 47-44 going into the fourth quarter, but once it did, it was a scary sight for UWP. The Huskies increased their field goal percentage every quarter – 18.8% in the first, 36.8% in the second, 45.5% in the third and 70.0% in the fourth – as they were getting into their rhythm. SCSU surged ahead of the Rangers in the fourth quarter, outscoring them 27-17 in the final 10 minutes of the game. 12 of the Huskies 22 field goal makes in the game were three pointers, as they shot a sizzling 46.2% from behind the arc (12-26). The Huskies scored 15 points from the charity stripe, making 75% of their foul shots.

Sophomore guard Jada Eggebrecht (Phillips, Wis.) and freshman guard Alana Zarneke (Appleton, Wis.) led the Huskies in scoring with 12 points apiece. Two other Huskies – senior forward Dru Henning (Mukwonago, Wis.) and senior guard Makenna Vanzant (Farmington, Ark.) also contributed double-digit points, scoring 11 and 10 respectively.
