By Kaci Mexico November 26, 2016 On the second day of the Rotary Classic Women’s Basketball tournament in Jackson, Tennessee, Aysia Shellmire notched a double-double to lead the #2 Westmont Warriors (4-1) to a 59-50 victory over #4 Campbellsville (6-1). Shellmire put up 22 points and pulled down 15 rebounds. Along with Shellmire, Lauren McCoy was also effective on both the offensive and defensive ends; she totaled 11 points, eight rebounds, five assists, one steal, and six blocks. By the end of the first quarter the Warriors found themselves down 18-7, after the Tigers harnessed early momentum and went on a 10-2 run. The Warriors quickly answered back and gained a two point lead when they started off the second quarter with a nine-point run that lasted for five and a half minutes (20-18). In this run Shellmire put up two jump shots, Cora Chan hit a three-pointer, and Kayla Sato had a steal that she converted into a jump shot. Sato was also a big contributor with nine points, four assists, and two steals on the night. [box]
