Box Score

WALLA WALLA, Wash. -- The 6th-ranked Whitman women's basketball team eased to an 83-42 victory over Walla Walla University tonight at Sherwood Athletic Center in a non-conference matchup.
 
With the victory, the Missionaries improve to 5-0. WWU falls to 0-10.
 
Whitman jumped out to an early 15 to 2 lead on a three-pointer from Halie Buse and never looked back. The Missionaries held leads of 27-6 and 39-13 before going into halftime with a 42-18 edge.
 
The Whits had 10 players enter the score column with 4 in double figures. Forward Sarah Anderegg led the way with 15 points and 7 rebounds. Post Meghan White poured in 14 and grabbed 9 boards, and point guard Mara Alindogan tallied a career-high 12 points with 5 rebounds to go along with 5 assists.

The Missionaries shot 43.4 % from the field while holding the Wolves to just 29.6%.
 
About midway through the first half, the auxiliary scoreboard and both shot clocks went out. They could not be restored so the rest of the game was played with the shot clock being kept at the scorer's table and a "ten second" alert given.
 
The Missionaries are back in action this Sunday when they travel to Portland, Ore., to face Concordia University. Tip-off is at 3 pm.
