Royals Can't Hang On Against Warriors

Rocklin, CA - The Hope International University women's basketball team (15-4, 8-2 GSAC) fell 58-57 to the William Jessup Warriors in a defensive battle on Thursday evening in Rocklin, CA

The game was a tight affair as the Warriors jumped out to an early 7-2 lead but the Royals battled back to get within 9-8 on a three by Shiane Talley. The Warriors though would extend their advantage back to 14-8. The Royals didn't let the Warriors get away as they finished the quarter on a 8-2 run to tie the game 16-16 at the end of the first quarter. The Royals would then take their first lead of the game on a basket by Ana Resendiz as they looked to take control. From there the teams exchanged lead until a late basket by the Warriors put the Royals down 34-33 at halftime. 

The Royals continued to fight in the third as a big three from Jeanette Fine put them back on top 38-36 with 6:38 to go. Despite their best efforts the Royals were unable to pull away as the Warriors continued to keep it close with the Royals leading 44-42 at the end of the third. The Warriors would come back to retake a 48-47 lead midway through the the final quarter. The Royals answered as a layup by Talley gave the Royals a 57-56 lead with :37 seconds to go. Unfortunately the Royals couldn't close it out as they missed two free throws while the Warriors scored a late basket as they fell 58-57. Fine led the Royals with a double double (20 points, 10 rebounds).

The Royals will travel across the bay to Atherton, CA to take on Menlo on Saturday, January 21 at 12:00 PM.
