March 1, 2007 Lacey, WA – Saint Martin’s women’s basketball had four players in double figures on their way to a 69-57 win over the University of Alaska Anchorage, putting an end to the Seawolves seven game win streak Thursday night at the SMU Pavilion. Amber Harmon led the Saints offense with 15 points while Whitney Golob added 14 points and seven rebounds. Jamey Gelhar put up 12 points on the night. Kassie Ludeman recorded a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds. The Seawolves scored the first four points of the game and kept the Saints from scoring through the first three and a half minutes. But SMU quickly took the lead and held off Alaska Anchorage to take a 29-23 lead into the break. Saint Martin’s maintained their lead in the second half allowing the Seawolves to tie it once but never letting them take a point advantage. Anchorage pulled to within four with 2:41 to go but a jumper by Kassie Ludeman put the Saints back up by six. The Seawolves fouled the Saints three times in the remaining two minutes and SMU made every shot. In the same time frame UAA shot seven threes, missing all of them. Rebecca Kielpinski was the only player in double figures for the Seawolves posting 15 points and 12 rebounds. UAA shot just 31.9 percent from the floor and was just 3-8 from the line. Saint Martin’s took full advantage of their free throws going 17-19 from the line. The Saints will play their final game of the season this Saturday at home against the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
