November 9, 2007 Lacey, WA – Saint Martin’s rolled to a 30 point victory over Evergreen State College beating the Geoducks 91-59 Friday night in an exhibition game at the SMU Pavilion. The Saints led nearly the entire game as the Geoducks tied it once in the first half but never took the lead themselves. With just over a minute to go in the first half Evergreen pulled to within four. The Saints strung together two free throw shots from Kassie Ludeman and layups from Jamey Gelhar and Michelle Short to take a 10 point lead into the break. Saint Martin’s kept it up in the second half maintaining no less then their ten point led the rest of the way. In the final five minutes the Saints outscored the Geoducks 16-6. SMU posted a 55.6 shooting percentage from the field in the second half and held Evergreen to just 37.9 percent. “It felt good to get out there and play against someone other then ourselves. It gives us an idea of where we are and what we need to improve on,” said Ludeman, one of three seniors on this year’s team. “We’re a lot different from last year in that we have some returning players and all of the new girls step it up and will be huge contributors for us.” Ludeman led all players with 20 points and added six rebounds. Short had 19 points while Gelhar had 18 along with six boards of her own. Evergreen was led by Jennifer Solberg with 15 points and a game high 11 rebounds. SMU was able to score 30 points off of 20 ESC turnovers. Saint Martin’s improves their record to 12-1 against Evergreen. The Saints’ next game will be on November 19th when they take on BYU-Hawaii at home with a 7 p.m. tip-off.
