DILLON, Mont. – The Montana Western women's basketball team (4-7) got back on track this afternoon in an 87-34 rout of Keyano College (AB).
Keke Davis led the Bulldogs with a career high 15 points off of a 7-9 shooting performance from the field.
"Both teams scrapped hard for 40 minutes. Our ladies battled the whole game, which gave our younger players some quality time on the court," Head Coach Britt Cooper said. "A great team win for us as we get ready for conference."

How It Happened
Montana Western capitalized on turnovers in the opening minutes, leading to a 14-4 opening quarter lead.
Davis got Western rolling in the second quarter, hitting a triple followed by a pair of buckets to put Western up by 21 points in the first four minutes of the second quarter.
A layup from Ava Bellach in the final minute gave the Bulldogs enough of a push to take a 44-16 lead into the half.
Keyano found some rhythm, riding behind a 10-0 scoring run midway through the third quarter. The Huskies' run was short-lived as Isabella Lund broke the streak with back-to-back layups.
