17-1 Run Leads Lady Builders Over Washington Adventist 59-37

FINAL SCORE: Apprentice School 59, Washington Adventist 37

RANKINGS: Apprentice School #5, Washington Adventist #18

RECORDS: Apprentice School 13-4, Washington Adventist 7-14

ON THE COURT: Senior Courtney Collins scored 19 points and freshman Kelsey Daniels added 10 as the Apprentice School used a 17-1 run over a nearly 11 minute span of both halves to take a 59-37 win over visiting Washington Adventist University on Saturday night.

The Lady Builders jumped out to an early 7-0 lead on an April McCoy layup with 15:36 left and held the Shock scoreless for almost the first six minutes before a Rashawnda Carter layup put them on the board at 14:02 mark.

Washington Adventist used that layup to start an 11-2 run for its last lead on a pair of Courtney Cayard free throws with 10:59 left to lead 11-9. Cayard went 1-of-2 from the line with 8:17 left to bring the Shock to 14-12 and that turned into the final points of the first half as the Lady Builders scored the next 11 to lead 25-12 on a Christina Licano 3-point play with one second left in the half.

In the second half, the Lady Builders scored six of the first seven points to lead 31-13 on a Kenya Wilkerson steal and layup with 17:24 left.  The lead grew to as much as 32 points on a Collins 3-point play with 7:21 left for a 54-22 lead.
