WOMEN'S BASK
Jayhawks remain persistent during game
ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com
Sophomore guard Monica Engelman knocked down the first shot of the night for the Kansas women's basketball team, a three point shot assisted by freshman forward Tania Jackson. The shot was the first made by either team and it gave the Jayhawks a lead they would never relinquish.
Engelman's three sparked the Jayhawks as they opened the game making 12 of their first 13 shots from the field for a 92 percent field goal percentage. They also connected on 50 percent of their three point attempts in the first half.
"It definitely gets momentum, especially hitting a three because it is a big shot. It just gets the energy flowing and it's another way for us to get the momentum going," Engelman said.
Lingenham the Jayhawks kept the pace up in the first half, pushing the ball up the court. With 6:27 left in the first half, sophomore guard Angel Goodrich grabbed a rebound and quickly launched a pass across the court to freshman guard Diana Moore for an easy layup. The fast-paced game helped the Jayhawks to a 15-point lead going into halftime.
"We want to control tempo, we want to push, we want to run the ball, catch them off guard on defense when they're running back. Easy buckets that we can try and get so we won't have to set up a play," Goodrich said.
play. Good heroes The Jayhawks moved the ball around well on offense in the first
half, getting everyone involved. Seven different players recorded an assist in the first half, Goodrich led the way with three dimes in the first half and nine in the game.
"We were trying to play as a team, and get everyone involved. If someone didn't have an open shot, pass it to the next guy. The more you do that, the more rotation it is for the defense and the more it makes them have to rotate and gets them off balance. It really opens up a lot, kicking it out to the wings, swinging it, bringing it back inside," Goodrich said.
Despite a big height advantage for the Jayhawks, the Shockers tried to play physical with Davis, knocking her to the floor multiple times in the first half. But the strategy didn't work as she led the Jayhawks with 17 first half points. Goodrich also scored double digits in the first half, with 10 points, and Monica Engelman was right behind her with eight.
"I knew it was going to be physical and I feel like there was a couple cheap shots but it was cool, I don't let it get to me and affect me, I have been working on that because I know teams are going to come at me, take out the 'head of the monster' as we say, so I just have to know it comes with the territory," Davis said.
Davis said. The Jayhawks did slow down a little as the half approached, but still managed to finish shooting 70 percent from the field in the first half.
