Women's Basketball Wins Nonconference Finale at North Texas

DENTON, Texas – Santa Clara women's basketball closed out its nonconference schedule with a xxx win at North Texas. The Broncos (10-3) were up big at the half, but the Mean Green (6-5) made it a game with a big third quarter and got within five in the fourth before a late run put the game away.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • Up by four midway through the first quarter, Santa Clara closed the period on an 11-0 run to take a 23-8 lead after one.
  • The Broncos built their lead to 20 for the first time at 7:46 in the second quarter before a 6-0 run by North Texas. Santa Clara responded with the next nine, the final six coming from Sophie Glancey, to take a 23-point lead. The Broncos would head into the locker room on top 44-20.
  • Things turned around in the third as a 13-2 run in the early going gave the Mean Green belief as they cut the deficit down to 49-33. They continued to chip away and a 7-0 run later in the quarter cut the Broncos lead to single-digits at 56-49. Santa Clara managed to get the advantage back to 62-51 by the end of the third.
  • North Texas got the lead under 10 again with a 7-0 run at the 6:31 mark of the fourth and would get as close as 73-68 at 4:11 with another 7-0 stretch, but the Broncos answered with seven in a row of their own, including the final five by Kylee Fox to make it a 12-point edge with 2:37 to go. The Mean Green wouldn't get the deficit under 10 the rest of the way.
 
NOTABLE:
  • Santa Clara shot it at 41.5-percent (27-of-65) from the floor and was 12-of-27 from downtown while going 18-of-26 from the charity stripe.
  • Fox led all scorers with a career high 23 points on 9-of-16 shooting and 4-of-7 from deep. Both her field goals made and attempted were also career highs and she added six rebounds. Sophie Glancey had her third double-double, and second in her last three games, with 19 points and 13 rebounds to go along with four blocks. Maia Jones just missed a double-double as well with 15 points and nine boards while Ava Schmidt scored 15 with a career high five blocks. Ashley Hawkins also almost had a double-double with eight points and a career high-tying 11 assists.
  • North Texas shot 33.8-percent (25-of-74) from the field and went 5-of-13 from beyond the arc. The Mean Green were also 17-of-24 from the free throw line.
  • Jazzy Owens-Barrett (13) and Tionna Lidge (11) were the only players in double-figures but Tiffany Hammond and Mekhia Chase both scored nine with Aysia Proctor adding eight. Lidge just missed a double-double with nine rebounds.
  • Santa Clara's 10 nonconference wins all came by double-figures. This is the third time the Broncos have won 10 or more nonconference games with 10-or-more points. The last time was the 1998-99 squad that also won 10 conference games and finished 22-7 and went to the NCAA Tournament. The 1990-91 WNIT winning team won 12 nonconference games with 10 coming by double-figures.
  • Santa Clara's 82.2 ppg through the nonconference schedule is the highest in program history.
  • The 10 nonconference wins are the most by a first-year head coach in Santa Clara women's baskebtall history.
