KIRKLAND, Wash. - Reed Hazard scored 22, Maddy Dixon added 17 and the University of Providence women completed a 2-0 weekend at the Northwest Classic with a 68-55 win over the host team Saturday night.
Hazard hit three three-pointers and went 8-14 from the field overall as the Argo women improve to 6-1 on the season. Providence finished the game 27-57 from the field, including a 7-18 performance from beyond the arc.
McKenna Reggear added nine points, all from distance while Kenedy Cartwright chipped in with eight and those two combined for eight rebounds with Dixon pulling down a team-high five. Hazard and Brooklyn Harn each had four assists.
The Argos held the Eagles to 39% shooting, with Kylie Lunday and Kyrin Baklund each scoring 13 points.
One night after committing 29 turnovers, the Argos turned the ball over just 10 times, which helped in the win according to Head Coach Bill Himmelberg, "We had a little talk at shootaround today and the girls responded well. They made a determination that they weren't going to turn it over anymore and were going to take better care of the basketball. They know what to do, they have played this game their whole lives.
"It was fun seeing them come out and execute. I am proud of them overall and proud of them for the way they responded after having a bad night."
UP is off until opening Frontier Conference play Dec. 1st with a home game against MSU-Northern.
