Reddies Streak Past UAM 69-47 For Sixth-Straight GAC Win

MONTICELLO, Ark. — Henderson State had four players in double-figures and shot 50 percent from the field on Saturday afternoon, as the Reddies ran away from Arkansas-Monticello 69-47 to stretch their GAC winning streak to a program-record six games.

After starting hot against Arkansas Tech on Thursday night, for the second straight game, the Reddies (10-4, 6-2) were all over their opponent from the opening tip, this time beginning the game on a quick 11-0 run to set the tone for the first half. UAM (5-8, 1-7) closed the gap down to 13-8 at the end of the first quarter with a spurt of its own, but Henderson controlled the second, out-scoring the Blossoms 22-10 in the period behind five 3-pointers - three of which came from Torrie Thompson - to seize a 35-18 halftime advantage.

The Blossoms attempted to speed up the pace in the third quarter and began attacking the basket trying to spark a run. Henderson, though, had an answer for every UAM score and got deep 3-pointers from Haleigh Henson and Lani Snowden to maintain its 17-point advantage, 52-35, heading into the final quarter.

A 10-1 start to the fourth, behind seven from Pink Jones and a three from Hailey Estes, helped the Reddies take a stranglehold on the game, as they extended their lead out to 62-36. With just 6:36 to play, UAM simply did not have enough time or offensive firepower to rally, as Henderson ran away for the 69-47 win.

Thompson was the catalyst for HSU on the offensive end, finishing with 17 points after scoring 11 in the first half. Jones, Henson and Snowden each added 11 points, with both Henson and Snowden hitting three 3-pointers, while Jones chipped in seven assists. Estes finished with eight points, 12 rebounds and five assists in the win, falling just one bucket short of what would have been her fourth-straight double-double.

As a team, Henderson was hot all afternoon and shot 50 percent from the field for the game, including 42.9 percent from beyond the 3-point line. Defensively, the Reddies held UAM to just 34.7 percent shooting from the field, 7.7 percent from 3-point range, and out-rebounded the Blossoms 34-25.

The Reddies' next game is Tuesday on the road at 5:30 p.m. against crosstown rival Ouachita Baptist in the Battle of the Ravine.
