CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Four Southeast Missouri players scored in double figures and the Redhawks led by as many as 21 points in a season-opening 78-66 win over Wright State on Friday night.
Southeast (1-0) won its season opener for the first time since the 2009-10 season and its 78 points were more than the Redhawks scored in all but one game during the 2011-12 campaign.
“This was an exciting game,” Southeast head coach Ty Margenthaler said. “I was really proud of our young team for building on a lead in the second half. We had a few valleys down the stretch to let them back in it, but I was proud of everyone for knocking down free throws towards the end. Our players should feel really good about this win.”
After trailing 6-4 early, the Redhawks got consecutive three pointers from Kara Wright and Brittany Harriel to grab a 10-6 lead. Jordan Hunter followed with a free throw to extend the run to 7-0.
The Raiders battled back with an 11-3 spurt, which put them in front 17-14. Undeterred, Southeast countered with an 18-4 surge to take a 32-21 lead with 4:24 left.
Southeast's lead grew as big as 35-23 after Allyson Bradshaw connected from long-range for the Redhawks seventh three-pointer of the half with 2:35 left in the opening stanza. Southeast ended up taking a 39-29 lead to the break, making more three-pointers (seven) than two-point (five) field goals in the half.
WSU cut the Southeast lead down to 42-34 one minute into the second half. The Redhawks blew the game open on the strength of a 13-0 run to put them up 55-34 with 12:48 to play. Four different Redhawks contributed baskets during that surge. Harriel made a layup and three free throws, Patricia Mack scored two baskets, Dru Haertling hit a layup and Bailie Roberts connected on a jumper.
With Southeast up 67-50, WSU scored eight in a row to cut the deficit to 67-58, but Allyson Bradshaw and Courtney Shiffer each went 2-for-2 at the line on the next two possessions to spoil WSU's comeback bid.
Southeast shot 39.1 percent from the field and held WSU to 32.1 percent shooting. The Redhawks connected on 10 of their 28 three-point attempts (35.7 percent) while holding the Raiders to 6-of-24 (25.0 percent) from beyond the arc. Southeast also outscored WSU by eight form the line, making 18-of-24 (75.0 percent) at the foul stripe compared to the Raiders' 10-of-22 (45.0 percent) figure.
The Raiders held a slight advantage in rebounds (54-50) while the Redhawks won the turnover battle with 14 turnovers against 16 WSU miscues.
Roberts posted her fourth career double-double, leading all players by scoring 16 points and tying a career high with 13 rebounds. Harriel tallied 13 points and pulled down nine boards herself, Bradshaw scored 13 points of her own and Haertling added 10 points, seven rebounds and a game-high three assists (no turnovers) off the bench.
Southeast returns to action on Monday when it travels to UMKC. Opening tipoff is at 7 p.m.
