They dominated, they broke records, they slaughtered.

The NIU women’s basketball team couldn’t have asked for more, as everybody scored in a dominating 102-70 victory against Detroit Wednesday in Calihan Hall. Junior forward Gena Stubbs added icing to the cake by topping 1,000 points for her career.

Boosting their record to 10-13, the Huskies earned their first set of back-to-back road wins this season after defeating Marquette in Milwaukee 69-67 Saturday.

“This was the first time this year that we’ve ever dominated a game both offensively and defensively,” said Huskie boss Jane Albright. “Our defense was as good as I’ve seen it. We forced them to make bad passes.

“It was a very good team effort, but we had two individuals (sophomores Lisa Foss and Carol Owens) that had an outstanding night. They both played pretty flawless. Carol did a great job defensively—she looked like the dominating player of the game.”

Outside of the Lady Titan’s 24-21 lead early in the game—their largest of the night—the match was no contest.

A 26-25 lead held by Detroit was quickly halted following a switch to man-to-man defense, and an eight-second show by Stubbs, earning her a place in Huskie record books.

With just under six minutes left in the half, Stubbs hit a jumper from the free-throw line, after which she drew a foul while stealing the ball. When the five-foot-eight forward sunk the second of her two throws, she hit her 1,000-point career milestone, putting the Huskies ahead 30-26.

Stubbs never let up. She broke past the landmark on the next play with a shot from the stripe off a technical called against Detroit’s Coretta Connors. Stubbs finished the evening with 16 points, 5 assists and 2 steals.

Owens and Foss combined for a majority of the remaining scoring for NIU in the rest of the first half. Owens scored 19 (9-of-11 from the floor) of her season and game-high 26 in the first 20. Foss went 7-of-8 in the first half to collect 14 of her total 24 points.

The Huskies led Detroit (3-21) 49-34 at halftime, and were never to trail again.

There was no stopping a full-force NIU offense in the second half as the Huskies broke their season assist and shooting percentage record with 26 and 59.9, respectively, for the game. Albright said the key factor in the Huskie triumph came when NIU controlled every move.

“They had to adjust to everything we did,” Albright said. “It was a real rewarding night. It felt like a dream. It was a great win to have in our minds, and will certainly give us a great deal of confidence.”

Foss’s 12-foot jumper from the right side capped a 20-3 stretch by NIU in six minutes of action, lifting the Huskies to 88-43.

NIU held as much as a 40-point lead with two minutes to play, as they neared the century mark. A pair of free throws by freshman Denise Dove put the Huskies at 100, and a 12-foot jumper by freshman Diana Wingis ended the scoring at 102 for NIU.

“Our guards did a good job for us,” Albright said. “Kris Weis did an excellent job with 8 assists (career-high) and 7 rebounds—she had a lot of good quality time. Tammy (Hinchee) had 5 blocks, which played a significant part.”
