The records continue to fall and wins pile up for the Presentation College women's basketball team.
For the second day in a row, the Saints beat Crossroads College of Rochester, Minn., Saturday in Aberdeen. This time it was 109-18, with Abbie Geraci setting a school record by dishing out 15 assists. On Friday, PC won 124-31 and set school scoring records along the way.
PC jumped out to a 29-0 lead. Crossroads came in averaging 21.4 points per game.
Hannah Phillips, a junior from Upsala, Minn., who scored a school-record 47 points Friday, scored 40 more on Saturday against Crossroads. Rachel Fuhrmann added 22 points and Kelli Boekelheide had 18 rebounds and 11 points.
"In every game, we are trying to get better with everything we do and play together as well as we can," Boekelheide said. "The main thing is that we need to keep playing together as a team."
The PC women are at the midpoint of their four games in four days at the Strode Center. Tonight at 5:30 p.m., the Saints will host Providence University College of Otterburne, Manitoba, Canada. The two teams play again at noon Monday.
"We talked about that in the locker room, but I think we are going to be OK," said PC coach Alaina Benson. "We controlled the last two games and sat in that zone, so our legs should be good to go."
Both PC teams are in the top 20 of the United States Collegiate Athletic Association Division I basketball rankings.
"Only the top eight make the national tournament, so we want to keep getting wins and moving up in the rankings," Benson said. "It is something we don't talk about a lot, but we have a shot of making it. That would be a big thing for us."
