NINE THINGS

1. CR-South (6-3 overall, 2-2 SOL National) led almost the whole way. Tennent (5-5, 1-4) had a brief one-point lead in the first quarter and another in the third. The Golden Hawks took control with a 13-2 run that began midway through the third quarter and stretched into the fourth.

2. The Golden Hawks have already won more games than they won during the entire 2007-2008 season. CR-South has won four straight.

3. Junior 5-foot-10 forward Chelsea Allen finished with 10 points and 13 rebounds for CR-South. Allen scored all 10 of her points in the first half and had eight offensive rebounds. “Chelsea did a good job on the offensive boards,” CR-South coach Monica Young said. “She hustles.”

4. Golden Hawks freshman center Alex Wheatley scored a game-high 12 points. “We got a lot of big plays from our freshman," Allen said. "We ask a lot of her, and she has really stepped up.”

5. Guard Megan Zimmerman led Tennent with 10 points. She hit a shot with three seconds left in the first quarter, and then made a 3-pointer with three seconds left in the first half.

6. Tennent sophomore Ashley Alden had four points, 10 rebounds, three steals and three blocked shots. Junior forward Sarah Godfrey added five points, four rebounds, two steals and two blocked shots.

7. Senior guard Ann Silverthorn scored eight points and had four steals for CR-South. Junior point guard Lea Britton added four points and four assists.

8. Beginning Saturday, Tennent is scheduled to play five games in seven days.

9. “I feel like we’re in really good shape,” Allen said. “Last year, we weren’t the best team in the league. We had to rebuild. I think we’ve always been overlooked as a team, but we’ve thrown all that out the window. We’re a team to be reckoned with.”
