Kalamazoo Valley Women's Basketball

November 29, 2008    KVCC (76) vs. Columbus State (51) in Kalamazoo

Coach's comments:
     One of the best measures of defensive proficiency is shooting percentage.  If that is a true statement, then Saturday night's performance by the Lady Cougars of  KVCC tells a good story.  Columbus State, which came into the game shooting over 40% from three and 44% total field goal percentage was held to 25% from three in the 2nd half - 30% for the game and 32.8% total FG percentage and dominated on the boards and the final outcome was really not in doubt when the home standing Cougars took a 45-24 halftime lead.  Second chance points (22-2), points in the paint (26-4), and bench points (30-6) told the story of  the game.
        Jeannie Closson, the 6'2" Valley forward was spectacular in a little over 20 minutes of work with 17 points and 14 rebounds.  She was joined in double figures by a very quiet 15 points from Alicia Jesnek, 12 points from her sister, Dee Dee, and another strong offensive showing from Alexis Szekely with 10.  Dee Dee added 8 rebounds off the bench and Caitlin Krull contributed 8 points and 6 rebounds.
        "I'm really pleased at this point with how the gals have bought in to our defensive scheme." Praised Coach Welch.  "Columbus State put up good offensive numbers last night and I knew they could really shoot it.  I felt good about our effort for most of the game tonight at the defensive end."
