Game highlights

The Aggies hung tough with the Tigers in the early minutes of the game and had a pair of leads in the first quarter, the last time with just under three minutes to play before Lauryn Reither hit her first of two three pointers in the first quarter to give the Tigers an 18-16 lead. Fort Hays would never trail again in the game. The Tigers led 27-20 at the end of the first quarter.

Kacey Kennett scored the first five points of the second quarter to spark a 15-6 run to give the Tigers their largest lead of the first half at 16 with a 42-26 with 2:34 to play in the first half. The Tigers led 46-31 at halftime.

Fort Hays State extended their lead in that third quarter thanks in large part to the play of Jaden Hobbs who had her best game as a Tiger. After being held scoreless in the first half she scored 10 of her season-high 16 points in the third quarter and helped the Tigers build the 71-35 third quarter lead.

The fourth quarter saw much of the same as the Tigers outscored the Aggies 14-2 to start the quarter on their way to the 89-47 win.

Belle Barbieri scored a season-high 19 points and pulled down 10 rebounds, Hobbs and Kennett each added 16 each and Taylor Rolfs finished with 11 points.

The Tigers shot a season-high 46.9% from the floor and made 22 of 26 free throw attempts.

Fort Hays State improved to 4-0 with the win and will take on the University of Saint Mary Nov. 25.
