HAYS – The Fort Hays State women’s basketball team used a 14-0 run early in the second quarter to build a 15 point lead and cruised to an 83-58 win over Rogers State Sunday afternoon at Gross Coliseum.
The Tigers close out the first semester 5-0 with the final four wins all by 20 or more points. It’s the first time they’ve won four straight by that margin since the 2013-14 season.
After the Tigers (5-0) built a 15 point halftime lead, the Hillcats (1-6) scored the first six points of the third quarter to pull within nine but that would be the closest they would get the rest of the game.
Katie Wagner came off the bench to lead four Tigers in double-figures with 13 points. Jaden Hobbs went 3-for-5 from beyond the arc and scored 11 while dishing out a career-high 11 assists. Freshman post players Olivia Hollenbeck and Jessie Sallach both added 10 points apiece.
Rogers State was led by Vanessa Gajdosova who scored 21.
