Parker Scores 26 As Women's Hoops Rolls Over Aquinas

ADRIAN, Mich. -- Sha'kyia Parker scored 26 points as the Siena Heights women's basketball went on a decisive third-quarter run to down Aquinas, 68-44, in WHAC action on Saturday at the SHU Fieldhouse.

Peyton Banks added 12 points and eight rebounds while Jillian Gelso contributed 12 points. E'Anna Won finished with 11 rebounds, five assists and two blocks.

Siena Heights took a 26-21 lead into halftime and Aquinas had closed its margin to 26-25 before a 20-4 outburst by the host Saints. Parker had nine points in that stretch, Banks had eight and Gelso connected with a 3-pointer to put SHU up 46-29 late in the third.

Gelso helped SHU build on its lead in the fourth with a trio of 3-balls during the period.

Emily Cline and JaKarri Alven scored eight points each to lead Aquinas (8-10, 4-8).

Siena Heights will return to action on Wednesday with a 5:30 p.m. game at WHAC opponent Lourdes.
