(Sioux City, IA) – With Hastings coming into the game with an undefeated 3-0 record, the Briar Cliff Chargers knocked off the Broncos 80-67 on Saturday. The Chargers outscored Hastings 26-11 in the second quarter to key their win.
The first quarter belonged to the Broncos, as after Briar Cliff scored the first four points, Hastings responded with a 7-0 run with two baskets from junior Mariyah Avila and a three from sophomore Tathis Arredondo.
With the game tied up at seven, freshman McKenna Yates's three-pointer, then junior Macy Bryant scored the next 10 points for the Broncos in the span of two minutes to lead to a 22-14 lead after one quarter.
Briar Cliff scored on their first three possessions, then tied the game up at 22 less than two minutes into the quarter. With Hastings leading 24-22, the Chargers went on a 12-0 run to go up 10. They continued to keep the momentum the rest of the quarter, though freshman Ann Bose's bucket right before halftime cut the lead to 40-33.
Bryant started the second half with a three-pointer off a pass from Avila. Following a Charger basket, Avila absorbed the contact and converted on a three-point play to bring the Broncos within four. That would be as close as they would get as Briar Cliff responded with a 7-0 run, which would lead 62-52 going into the fourth quarter.
Looking to make a fourth quarter rally, Hastings briefly cut the lead to five on a Bose three, but the Chargers responded with a three-pointer of their own on the next possession with seven minutes remaining. Another Charger three with 4:45 left put Briar Cliff in firm control, as they rolled to the finish line, 80-67.
Bryant led the Broncos with 17 points and five rebounds. Avila had 14 points and four rebounds, while Yates contributed 11 points, four rebounds, and four assists.
Up next, Hastings will travel to Yankton, SD to play Mount Marty at 5:30pm on Tuesday, Nov. 26.
