PRESTON – Myerscough alumni Shauna Harrison (Class of 2018) continued her hot start to the season while Kyra Smith (Class of 2019) recorded her first collegiate double-double for Tallahassee CC.
Harrison, who helped the Vulcans stay unbeaten to start the year at 4-0, came up big with 19 points on 8-of-14 shooting as Cal U upended No. 5 Virginia Union in just the second-ever meeting between the two schools — she would add nine points and seven rebounds on Saturday against Fairmont State.
Smith, meanwhile, had 18 points and 13 rebounds for Tallahassee CC in a win over Denmark Technical College. The 5-foot-11 combo guard entered the contest shooting just 18.6 percent, but finished 8-of-18 from the field on Friday night.
Edoardo Del Cadia (Class of 2018) reached double-figures scoring for the 17th and 18th times and recorded his sixth double-double in his collegiate career, with College of Central Florida splitting a pair of games. The sophomore forward tallied 14 points on an efficient 5-of-7 shooting in Tuesday’s win and followed that up with 12 points and 10 rebounds in a two-point loss.
Marist handed Zion Tordoff his first NCAA Division I start of his career against Hartford and he chipped in seven points and seven rebounds in 25 minutes, but the Red Foxes dropped a 62-51 decision on Tuesday.
Mate Okros has remained in the starting line-up for Drexel, including both games last week. The Dragons, however, dropped the pair, with Okros amassing 13 points on 5-of-10 shooting and six boards. He’s currently averaging 7.2 points at a clip of 41.9 percent and 2.6 rebounds through five games.
Jess McGrath (Class of 2019) is beginning to adapt to her role with Cowley College. The guard knocked down 3-of-6 attempts from 3-point range and finished with nine points in the Tigers’ win over Washburn JV.
Milly Knowles (Class of 2018/EWU), Callan Low (Class of 2019/Newberry College) and Kiko Stavrev (Class of 2015/Eckerd College) all return to action this week after extended layoffs in the schedule.
