BABSON PARK, Fla. (November 19, 2020) – The first home conference game of the 2020-21 season for the Webber International University women's basketball team resulted in another win for the Warriors, who defeated Thomas University 78-49 to remain unbeaten on the season.

Webber, which improved to 5-0 overall and 2-0 in The Sun Conference, overcame a tough offensive first quarter to dominate the second quarter 20-1. The Warriors held Thomas to 0-for-10 shooting from the field in the second quarter while shooting over 41 percent from the field themselves and going 3-for-6 from 3-point range to lead it by 18 (32-14) at halftime.

Webber then kept its hot shooting going by shooting over 44 percent in the third quarter followed by a 60 percent mark in the fourth quarter.

"We played excellent on defense, but our spacing on offense and layups still have to improve," spoke Head Coach Grady Morrell.

The first quarter featured two ties and five lead changes, but a 3-pointer by LeAndra Franklin to open the second quarter jumpstarted a 12-0 Warrior run to give the home team some an 11-point lead at 24-13 halfway through the period.

For the Night Hawks, it was their 2020-21 season opener.

Amaya Small led all players with a game-high 17 points on 7-for-11 shooting from the field. Small also finished with eight rebounds.

Next in scoring was Paris Copeland with 15 points on 6-for-11 shooting, and Samantha Pacheco scored a career-high 10 points on 3-for-6 shooting overall and a 2-for-3 mark from 3-point range. Pacheco also added five steals and four assists.

Dasia Wandick, Franklin and Paulette Burke each scored six points while Thalia Jackson had five points, three blocks and matched Small with eight rebounds. Wandick also matched Pacheco with four assists.

Last but not least, Aaliyah Jones scored her first four points of the season while Isis Mason scored her first two in what was the Warrior debut for both ladies.

Now that Webber's next game at Warner University has been postponed, the next game for Webber will be a home matchup against St. Thomas University at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, December 3, inside the Sabbagh Athletic Center.
