Gallaudet Defeats Johnson Bible 74-55: Eclipses 2007-08 Win Total

Gallaudet defeated Johnson Bible College tonight 74-55 to win their 4th game of the season, eclipsing their 2007-08 total after just seven games.

Four players scored in double figures tonight for Gallaudet led by Amanda Krieger with 23.  Nukeitra Hayes added 14, Ursa Rewolinski scored 11, and Brittainy Payne contributed 10.  Hayes also had 9 rebounds and 3 blocked shots. Rewolinki added 8 rebounds and 3 blocks. Payne led the team with 10 rebounds.

As a team, Gallaudet did a good job reducing their turnovers, finishing the game with just 18. This is excellent considering it was the first game Gallaudet has played in over a week, due to final exams. This is something Head Coach Kevin Cook mentioned in his postgame remarks.  "The game before you head into the holiday break is sometimes a tough one to play. It always has been and always will be."

Gallaudet is now 4-3 on the season and will next play in New York on December 27. The long break coming up is what Coach Cook considers the key to how Gallaudet performs the rest of the year.  "One of the keys to the rest of the season is what will happen in the next ten days.  It is tough to condition and train on your own." The 4-3 start should give the Bison extra incentive to stay in shape during the upcoming break.
