Vanguard women win, 51-45

COSTA MESA - Vanguard University’s women’s basketball team improved

to 7-2 overall Thursday evening with a 51-45 victory over Rocky Mountain

College in the Lions’ abbreviated GSAC Women’s Basketball Challenge.

With Oklahoma Baptist University unable to compete because of bad

weather in the midwest, the Lions’ only game of the tourney was Thursday,

and they made the most of it.

Vanguard took the lead with 10:32 left on a short jumper by Courtney

McKinney, and never trailed again.

Beth Weidler led all scorers with 16 points for the Lions. Sarah

Megyesi had 10 points for Rocky Mountain College, which fell to 6-5.

Kelly Boeke led the rebounding game with 11 boards.
