VINCENNES, Ind. – The Vincennes University Lady Trailblazers celebrated the VU careers of six sophomores Saturday night in style, hitting 15 of 29 three-point shots in the Lady Blazers 101-58 win over Olney Central.
The Lady Blazers started four sophomores Saturday against the Blue Knights and early on the new lineup had trouble getting on the same page which allowed Olney Central to jump out to a quick five-point midway through the first quarter.
VU responded to go on a 13-1 scoring run to take a 19-12 lead. Vincennes closed out the first quarter with a six-point advantage.
The Lady Trailblazers got a few shooters into the game in the second quarter and the shots immediately began to fall.
Sophomore Anete Bluma (Saldus, Latvia) and freshman Cherrelle Newsom (Indianapolis, Ind.) entered the game and each hit three three-pointers in the quarter, as Vincennes held a 55-33 lead at the break.
The Lady Blazers continued to grow their lead in the second half, opening the third quarter on a 14-4 scoring run.
Sophomore center Macy Michels (Teutopolis, Ill.) got in on the three-point action to hit a pair of long-range shots in the quarter.
