RICHMOND, Ky. – Despite a slow first quarter, Southeast Missouri (16-5, 8-2) regrouped to power pass Eastern Kentucky (8-13, 2-8), 60-44, Saturday afternoon at McBrayer Arena.
SEMO trailed, 12-6, after the first quarter before scoring seven-straight points to open the second quarter and took the lead on Carrie Shephard's 3-pointer with 8:31 left to play. That stretch led to the Redhawks outscoring the Colonels, 20-9, ad they headed into the locker room with a 26-21 advantage.
After EKU pulled to within three at 28-25 in the third quarter, SEMO put together an 18-4 run that carried into the final period and the Colonels never recovered. Jocelyn Taylor's jumper in the paint stretched the Redhawks lead to 46-29 with 7:44 left to play.
The Redhawks led by as many as 19 (58-39) when Denisha Gardener scored a layup at the 2:37 mark.
Tesia Thompson contributed her third-consecutive double-double with 12 points and 13 rebounds. Thompson also added four assists and went a near-perfect 9-of-10 at the free throw line.
Taylor followed with 12 points and tied a season-high three steals, while Gardener pulled down a career-high 13 rebounds.
Freshman I'Liyah Green recorded her fourth double-double of the season to lead the Colonels with 17 points and 14 rebounds.
SEMO's seven-game winning streak is its longest since 2007-08 (12 games).
