The Warrior women’s basketball team had an impressive performance in the first official game of the ’09-’10 season. Hosting cross-town rival, St. Mary’s University, the Warriors put the pedal to the metal early and never let up the entire game.
Senior Ana Wurtz led the way with 21 points and shot an astounding 80 percent from the field but did not miss from beyond the arc making all 5 attempts. The team shot 49% from the floor and 46% from the 3-point-line. Shooting the ball like this could make the Warrior women a very tough team to beat this season.
The story of the year so far is the fact that the fresh new faces on the team have been able to make an immediate impact for the Warriors. Marieanna Dulas, as a true freshman, has been terrific and she added 13 points for the Warriors against St. Mary’s.
Bonnie Bjorke did not take a shot in this game but had an outstanding defensive performance recording 8 rebound, 4 blocks and 4 steals. Bjorke is a shut down defender and will be instrumental in the Warrior’s success this season.
The Warrior women travel to St. Paul this weekend as they play in a tournament hosted by Concordia University. Steve Carley and Matt Prink will be on the call at 12 noon on Friday and at 2 PM on Saturday. I will be here calling the men’s games as they host the Merchants Bank Tip-Off Classic this weekend here at McCown Gymnasium.
Go Warriors!
