Glendale, AZ. - The Arizona Christian University women's basketball team (7-4, 2-3 GSAC) continued their winning run as they blew past OUAZ (1-9, 0-5 GSAC) 101-71 on Thursday evening at Faith Arena in Surprise, AZ.

Thoughts from Coach:

After the game, Head Coach Rusty Rogers said, "Just like our game on Tuesday, we really did not take command of the game like we felt we could. Total credit to Ottawa as they got down early and elevated their intensity instead of folding. They gave us way more than we expected, and it took a big effort to get the victory!"
