Ole Miss Women’s Basketball Pulls Away From Austin Peay

The Ole Miss women’s basketball team (10-2) moved to 9-0 at The Pavilion at Ole Miss with a 66-38 win over Austin Peay on Tuesday night. The win was the third straight for the Rebels who moved to 10-2 on the season with the victory.

For the second consecutive game Chrishae Rowe (Riverside, Calif.) led the Ole Miss offense with 20 points – her second consecutive game in double figures and her first 20-point outing of the year – to go along with seven rebounds. Erika Sisk (Oxford, Miss.) was also in double figures with 15 points, while Shandricka Sessom (Byhalia, Miss.) led the way on the glass with eight rebounds and 10 points. Taylor Manuel (St. Louis, Mo.) added 11 points and seven boards as well for her second game in double figures in the last three outings.

Austin Peay came out of the locker room fired up after the halftime break and opened up the quarter with a 10-4 run before Ole Miss closed the quarter with a 13-2 run of their own spearheaded by crucial rebounds and a bucket from Manuel as Ole Miss extended its lead to 25 points late in third quarter.

The fourth quarter saw Ole Miss’ lead balloon to 30 points – the largest of the game – at the 7:28 mark as the home team cruised to its 10th win od the season, equaling its entire win total from a year ago.

The Rebels saw their lead begin to dwindle in the second quarter as the visitors opened the quarter with four unanswered points to cut Ole Miss’ 10-point lead to six with just three minutes off the game clock, while Ole Miss couldn’t buy a bucket. The Rebels struggled from the field, but Rowe was a nice spark as she tallied six second-quarter points to swing the momentum towards the home squad, as Ole Miss took a 32-15 lead at the break.

After a sluggish start to the game, which saw Ole Miss fall behind 2-0 early, the home team settled into a good rhythm spearheaded by four quick points for hometown girl Sisk as Ole Miss jumped ahead, 13-4 at the 3:38 mark of the first quarter. Ole Miss got going on the defensive end and held the Governors without a bucket for 5:12 midway through the quarter as they used a 12-2 run to pull ahead by 10 points at the end of the quarter.

Ole Miss held Austin Peay to just 12.5 percent (3-of-24) shooting in the first quarter.
