KIRKSVILLE, Mo. – The Truman Women’s Basketball team set a new program record for shooting in a game as the Bulldogs made nearly 70% of their shots and routed William Jewell 99-53 on Thursday night in Pershing Arena. Hannah Belanger became the first Bulldog player to hit all nine of her field goal attempts for a game-high 23 points.
Truman was 34-of-50 for the game to best the record book for single-game shooting at 68%. The previous mark was 65% against Mount Mercy (Iowa) set in 2012. Eight Bulldogs knocked down 20 three-pointers for the most by a Truman team in a conference/Division II game, two shy of the school record of 22 also against Mount Mercy in 2012.
The Bulldogs picked up their largest win in the series with William Jewell and won their seventh straight over the Cardinals in the process. Truman returns to action on Saturday hosting Rockhurst (Mo.) at 1 p.m.
