CHICAGO – Paige Gallimore led all scorers with 17 points to go with 10 rebounds and six assists, and the Roosevelt women's basketball team held visiting Calumet St. Joseph to less than 19 percent shooting from the field to pick up a 62-40 decision over the Crimson Wave at the Goodman Center on Saturday.
Emily Duckhorn scored a career-high 10 points off the bench, while fellow reserve Chelsey Crippen added eight points, nine rebounds and four blocks for the Lakers (3-1, 2-0 CCAC).
Gallimore went 6-for-13 from the floor and canned three of her five three-point attempts during her second straight double-double and third of the season.
The Crimson Wave (0-8, 0-2 CCAC) had a slight 55-54 edge in rebounding, with a 26-16 advantage on the offensive glass, but that was due to many misses as the result of CCSJ's tough afternoon shooting the rock.
Calumet St. Joseph made just 13 of 70 shots, and Roosevelt pulled away late in the third and throughout the fourth as Becca Bergman canned threes to end the third and start the final period to turn a 10-point margin into 16 points. That ignited the Lakers to a 25-point fourth and an insurmountable lead.
Roosevelt heads to Milwaukee to take on 19th-ranked Cardinal Stritch on Tuesday, Nov. 22 at 5:30 p.m.
