The Washburn Lady Blues scored on the opening possession and never looked back last Saturday, Jan. 30, when they beat Missouri Western 74-44.
Missouri Western was beat in every category of the game and didn’t seem to come to life until it was too late in the second half.
A late first half run that continued into the second half put the Griffons in the driver’s seat as they took down Washburn 74-63 last Saturday night.
For much of the first half, neither team could really break away from each other, as the lead swung back and forth.
To some people, the tragic earthquake in Haiti may seem like an issue millions of miles away. But for long-time Western employee Andrew McGarrell, the incident hit much closer to home.
McGarrell, a cataloging librarian at Missouri Western for 22 years, lost his only sibling—Flores McGarrell—in the Haitian earthquake on Jan. 12. Thirty-five-year-old “Flo” was born female, but was transgender.
The Western Men’s Basketball beat Fort Hays State ranked 3rd in the nation, 75-69.
This makes for nine wins under the Griffons belt. Beating a top 5 ranked team hasn’t happened for the Griffons since 2002.
The Griffons are now alone in fourth place in their conference, 14-7 overall.
