SAINT GEORGE, UT- The Dixie State women’s basketball defeated Chaminade University 94-54 in the Burns Arena on Saturday night. The win was their third in a row and fourth of their last five.
In a game that had all sixteen Dixie State (6-5, 0-2 PACWEST) players score,
Veronica Siqueiros (Phoenix, AZ/Trevor G Brown) lead DSC with 18 points shooting 6-8 from the floor and 5-6 from behind the arc.
Deanna Daniels (North Las Vegas, NV/Centennial) continued her torrent pace by adding 10 points and seven rebounds in just 14 minutes of play.
Despite turning the ball over 32 times, the full court pressure of the Red Storm defense forced the shaky Chaminade (1-9, 0-2 PACWEST) offense to succumb and commit 41 turnovers of their own. The Red Storm would convert those turnovers into 45 points of their own.
DSC would enjoy a 55-22 halftime lead and would build on that leading by as many as 47 points in the second half.
Dixie State shot 40.3 percent from the field, 40.7 percent from behind the arc and would collect 57 rebounds as a team.
Chaminade was led by Brittany Bridges with 19 points and Samantha Saito added 11 of her own.
Dixie State will hit the road for a three game road swing to the San Francisco Bay area. The Red Storm are scheduled to play Notre Dame de Namur on Thursday Jan 14th, tip off is scheduled for 5:30 PM and the game be heard live with John Potter on KXDS 91.3 FM or www.dixieathletics.com.
