Box Score (HTML)

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Backed by six players in double-figures and a season-high 24 assists, the Truman Women's Basketball team ran their conference record to 3-0 with the next four at home with a 91-70 victory over Rockhurst University on Saturday afternoon.
 
The 90-point output by the Bulldogs was a regulation-game league-high by the Bulldogs since a 2014 contest against Illinois Springfield. Truman shot 50% from the field and dominated the glass 49-33 with 19 points scored on second chance opportunities.
 
Allison Thomas, make her first start of the season, returned to her hometown and dropped in a career-high 18 points on 8-of-11 shooting. Thomas added nine rebounds. Maddie Re followed with 14 points, Katey Klucking 13, Sloane Totta a dozen, Alex Wiese with 11 and Tiffany Davenport with 10.
 
Truman (7-3; 3-0 GLVC) jumped out to an early 6-0 lead on triples by Klucking and Hannah Belanger but Rockhurst (6-4; 1-2 GLVC) took the next punch with an 11-0 run later in the quarter to lead 15-10.
 
The Bulldogs counter punched with a 15-0 spurt that ended the first and started the second quarter with Maya Mouton and Weise providing the spark off the bench.
 
Rockhurst would close the lead back to three points on three different occasions but Re provided the haymaker by beating the clock at the half buzzer with a layup to give Truman the 42-37 advantage.
 
The third quarter was owned by the Bulldogs as they scored 27 points to the Hawks' 12 and led 69-49 by the end of the quarter.
 
The Hawks scored the first eight to start the final stanza but Thomas would go to work inside and score nine of her 18 points in the quarter and Truman put the game on ice.
 
Paige Pendley led Rockhurst with 13 points before fouling out in the fourth quarter.
 
Truman is now 3-0 in conference for the second time in three seasons and will begin a four-game homestand on Thursday night when Missouri S&T visits for a 5:30 p.m. tip.
