Clephane Scores 1,000th Career Point in WBB’s Win Over Miami
January 14, 2023 | Women's Basketball
MUNCIE, Ind. - Redshirt senior Anna Clephane scored her 1,000th career point to help the Cardinals (13-4, 3-1 MAC) earn a 92-61 victory over the RedHawks (6-11, 1-3 MAC) in Mid-American Conference action Saturday afternoon in Worthen Arena.
Clephane's 1,000th point moment was bittersweet after missing two seasons over her five-year career due to not one but two ACL injuries.
Not only did Clephane have a successful day on the court, her teammate and roommate graduate senior Thelma Dis Agustsdottir knocked down six from behind the arc to move into third all-time in program history with 271 career three-pointers.
Both Clephane and Agustsdottir led the Cardinals in scoring today. Clephane tallied a season best 25 points while Agustsdottir finished the day with 20. Sophomore Madelyn Bischoff registered 14 points and sophomore Ally Becki added 10. Defensively, Richard came off the bench and led the Cardinals with 10 defensive rebounds.
Miami dominated the first quarter of play with a 22-10 scoring spree to start today's game.
The Cardinals continued to struggle throughout the second quarter and found themselves down by 10 (30-20) at the 4:27 mark.
After that, a driving layup from Bischoff along with key baskets from Clephane, sophomore Alex Richard and Agustsdottir allowed Ball State to close the first half with a 17-3 run which gave the Cardinals the 37-33 lead over the RedHawks at intermission.
Ball State continued to play scrappy, and its defense intensified, causing Miami miscues that allowed the Cardinals to further increase their lead in the third and fourth frames.
The Cardinals outscored the RedHawks 55-28 in the second half and shot 61 percent (11-18) from the floor in the final quarter.
For the game, Ball State turned 25 points out of Miami's 17 turnovers and had one of its season lows in turnovers with seven.
The Ball State women's basketball team continues Mid-American Conference action when it travels to Buffalo Wednesday for a 6 pm ET tip-off in Alumni Arena.
