Chattanooga Women’s Basketball Teams Up to Overwhelm King University
In an exciting showdown at McKenzie Arena on November 20, 2024, the Chattanooga women’s basketball team demonstrated their skills and teamwork, taking down King University with an impressive score of 75-34. This game was more than just a match; it was also part of the much-anticipated Education Day, where local school students rallied together to cheer on the team. What a fantastic atmosphere!
A Game Worth Remembering
Chattanooga’s performance on the court was nothing short of spectacular. The team showed their precision and poise by achieving a remarkable season-best shooting percentage of 51 percent from the field, going 26-for-51. Notably, the squad was remarkably disciplined, recording a season-low of only 12 turnovers throughout the game. This sharp play was critical in helping maintain dominance over their opponents.
Locking Down Defense
While the Mocs were racking up points, their defense was equally impressive. They held King University to a mere nine points combined during the second and third quarters! That kind of defensive pressure reflects the team’s commitment and focus. Head coach Deandra Schirmer has always emphasized the importance of these qualities, particularly as the team works to develop its younger players.
Spotlight on Star Players
Leading the charge for Chattanooga was Caia Elisaldez, who shone brightly with 15 points, tying her career-high. She was not alone in her scoring efforts, as four Mocs finished the game in double digits. Alongside Elisaldez, Gianna Corbitt scored 13 points, while both Karsen Murphy and Brooke Anya added 11 points each to the scoreboard. Murphy was also quite close to achieving a double-double, finishing the game with nine rebounds. A solid performance indeed!
Sigrun Olafsdottir was another pivotal player that caught everyone’s attention, contributing eight points, along with seven assists, three rebounds, and three steals. Her all-around performance helped propel the Mocs forward and showcased the teamwork aspect of the game.
Three-Point Mastery and Free Throws
The Mocs also exhibited excellence beyond the arc, boasting an impressive 41.2 percent shooting accuracy from three-point range, going 7-for-17. Free throws? They nailed it with an incredible 84.2 percent success rate. These statistics clearly indicate that the Mocs are not just focusing on getting the ball in the basket but are also mastering the finer details of the game.
Looking Ahead
With this victory, Chattanooga improved their all-time series record against King University to 3-0. But the excitement doesn’t stop here! The Mocs are gearing up for their next challenge against Lipscomb, scheduled for November 25, 2024, at 11 a.m. ET. Fans who want to catch the action can do so on ESPN+ and their local radio stations.
