Sietsema Posts Career Night at No. 2 Indiana Wesleyan

MARION, Ind. – The Taylor women's basketball team hung with the No. 2 Indiana Wesleyan Wildcats (24-1, 14-1 CL) until late in the third quarter of an 87-46 road loss Wednesday evening.

TU opened the night stout defensively, limiting the Wildcats to eight points nearly six minutes in. The Purple and Grey struggled to hit shots themselves, however, with Kendall Sietsema and Quinn Kelly ending the visitors' scoring drought midway through the first quarter to make it 8-4.

Taylor cut its deficit to three, 12-9, on a trey from Emma Fohl, but that would be all the closer the Trojans got in the first half despite six points courtesy of Ava Henson.

Sietsema tallied a first-half-best eight rebounds, and Maycee Woods did the same in the assists category with her three dimes through 20 minutes. Still, TU trailed 33-19 at the intermission.

Whitney Warfel and Fohl pushed the pace early in the third period, starting the half on a 4-0 run.

Foul trouble sent Warfel to the bench moments later, but Kendall Wayne and Sietsema knocked down three-pointers to give the Trojans life down nine. IWU got hot to end the frame, however, taking a 57-38 edge into the fourth quarter.

The second-ranked Wildcats continued to pull away, but not before Henson reached double figures with a team-high 13 points.

Sietsema crushed her career high with a game-high 12 rebounds. The junior also tied her career-best mark of nine points at TU.

The Trojans recorded 12 assists on their 18 field goals, with Fohl and Woods notching three apiece.

Defensively, Kalyn Bunch tallied two of the visitors' five steals in just nine minutes of action.

Taylor (6-19, 1-14 CL) next travels to Goshen (10-13, 4-10) on Saturday for a 1 p.m. clash.
