Women's Basketball Gets Homecoming Victory

The Missouri Baptist University Lady Spartan Basketball improved to 1-1 with a 78-72 Homecoming victory over William Penn University (Oskaloosa, Iowa). The MBU Lady Spartans took a 40-37 lead into the half and relinquished the lead just once in the second half before pulling away for the win.

April Redus led the MBU attack with 25 points (8-15 from the floor). Redus was followed by Omega Key’s 16 points and 11 rebounds and Nikia Henry’s 13 points. MBU Freshman, Brittany Dorman, chipped in six points and seven caroms off the bench. Christa Subbert from William Penn led all scorers with 27 points (5-6 from behind the arc). MBU out-rebounded William Penn 45-27 however, MBU was a dismal 65% from the charity line compared to Penn’s 87% marksmanship from the stripe.

MBU will be in action next when they travel to Central Methodist University on Tuesday followed by a trip to Canton, Ohio for the Malone College Classic next weekend.
