The Lady Blue Jays set a pair of school records in blasting the Lady Bears in Friday night's nonconference blitz at home.
Westminster College's output and field goals made (43) surpassed the previous marks of 101 points and 42 field goals the Lady Blue Jays logged in a 2002 victory over Stephens College.
The Lady Blue Jays stopped a two-game losing streak by getting off to a fast start Friday night, surging to a decisive 27-2 lead after one quarter. Westminster (7-7) carried a 54-22 lead into halftime and then outscored Barclay College 25-7 in the third quarter to expand its advantage to 79-29.
"Tonight's game was good for us on a number of levels," Lady Blue Jays head coach James Arnold said. "First, the more work we can get against teams that play zone (defense), the better, and tonight we continued to make strides in executing against the zone and making shots."
Junior guard Kendahl Adams - who was 10-of-18 from the field - piled up a game-high 28 points to steer five players in double figures for the Lady Blue Jays, who shot 54 percent (43-of-80) as a team. Freshman guard Makayla Jackson, who made 6-of-11 shots, chipped in with a career-high 16 points and freshman guard Kendal Miller came off the bench to provide 14, also a career high.
Sophomore forward Mikalyn Callahan added 13 points for Westminster and junior guard Kelsey Ray had 11.
Freshman forward Kelsey Marek also came off the bench to pull down nine rebounds, powering the Lady Blue Jays to a 50-34 advantage on the boards.
Kalli Meadows and Leilani Carrasco both finished with eight points for Barclay (1-9), which shot a scant 26 percent (17-of-65) from the field and committed 27 turnovers.
Westminster remained at home for a St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference contest against MacMurray (Illinois) College on Saturday. Results were not available at press time.
The Lady Blue Jays then host Kansas Christian at 5 p.m. Monday.
"Being on (holiday) break can be tough on teams and sometimes just getting on the floor and playing can be a great relief," Arnold said. "We are excited about this 'three games in four days' challenge and think it could springboard us into a strong finish."
