Cougar Honors To Date
Ambrosia Anderson was named the M WC Player of the Week on Nov. 28,
marking her first career honor.

72-39 routing of UC Santa Barbara. She tallied a career-high 26 points and nine

Last Games
@ SETON HALL
Despite early foul trouble and sluggish first half, BYU (5-0) recovered to
beat Seton Hall 54-50, in New Jersey.
The Cougars struggled to maintain composure early. For the first time
this season, BYU was out rebounded 25-19 in the first half, while shooting only 39 percent from the field and 38 percent from the free throw line.
Dani Kubik, Lauren Riley and Mallary Gillespie each received two personal fouls within the first eight minutes of the game, putting Seton Hall
in the bonus for most of the first half. By the end of the half, Riley had
three fouls.
Despite its struggles, however, BYU went into the half with a five-point
lead, 28-23. The game marked the fourth time this season the Cougars
went into halftime with the lead.
The Pirates came out strong in the second half, immediately cutting the
Cougar lead to one. The second half was full of lead changes, as neither
team took a dominant lead.
With just over five minutes left in the game, Seton Hall went on an 8-0
run to put the Pirates up by one point. But BYU stepped up, hitting key
free throws at the end of the game to earn the four-point victory.
Ambrosia Anderson posted 14 points, while Kubik netted 13 points.
Anderson has led the team in scoring each game this season.
@ STONY BROOK
Led by senior Ambrosia Anderson, who posted her second double-double of the season, BYU (4-0) defeated Stony Book , 77-54.
Anderson posted 18 of her 22 points in the first half. Along with leading
all scorers, Anderson also tallied eleven boards for the eighth doubledouble of her career.
The Cougars set the tone early in the first half, dominating the Seawolves
on both ends of the court. Although BYU turned the ball over 11 times in
the first half, they shot 45 percent from the field and out rebounded Stony
Brook 31 to 20. BYU took an 18-point lead into the half, 35-17.
