Wildcats Stung by Hornets in Ogden
2/16/2023 8:51:00 PM | Women's Basketball
OGDEN, Utah – Weber State women's basketball started off its final two-game homestand of the season with a 66-52 loss to the Sacramento State Hornets.
The Wildcats were without all-conference performer Daryn Hickok as well as rotation player Ava Williams for Thursday's game in The Dee Events Center.
Without their leading scorer, the Wildcats had extremely balanced scoring in the first quarter with all five starters getting on the board. Aaliyah Ellis led the 'Cats with three points and every other WSU starter tallied a pair of points, but Weber State trailed 16-11 at the end of the quarter.
The gap widened in the second quarter as the Hornets outscored the Wildcats 13-7 to take a 29-18 edge into the locker rooms.
The WSU offense started to roll in the third quarter as the Wildcats cut into the Sacramento State lead. Kaiija Lesane led the way with seven points to go along with four points each from Jadyn Matthews and Vicky Parra. Weber State outscored the Hornets and went into the fourth period with a ten-point deficit.
The Wildcats scored an extra 17 points in the fourth quarter, but the Hornets pulled away to close out a 66-52 win.
