‘Cane Girls are SEC-East Champs

Houston girls basketball had already clinched a share of their first SEC-East title prior to a league match-up with L-O.  The ‘Canes beat the Cards in December 66-32.  A re-match was similarly lop-sided.  Alyssa Rostad scored 28 points (4-5 threes, 6-7 FTs, 5 rebs, 4 assists, 6 stls) to lead Houston to a 79-39 win.  Dale Moga’s ‘Canes are stand-alone SEC-East champs.  Amber Chapel (12 pts), Becca Rostad (11 pts, 3-8 threes), Jessica Kitching (10 pts, 6 rebs), and Emma Geiwitz (9 pts, 10 rebs) helped.  Houston then lost to Triton 77-69.  They gave up a season-high in points.  The Cobras scored a season-high.  Kendra Petersohn and Nicole Cress each had 28.  Five ‘Canes hit double-digits; Chapel (18 pts), B-Rostad (career-high 15 pts), Kitching (13 pts, 3-6 threes, 6 rebs), A-Rostad (11 pts), and Jenny Albrecht (4 pts, 14 rebs).  Houston (9-2, 19-4) is 0-2 on Saturdays, but one game short of 20 wins.
