Haskell women topple Wesleyan

Senior Justina George scored 29 points, and Haskell Indian Nations University defeated Oklahoma Wesleyan, 66-50, in women’s college basketball Saturday at Coffin Complex.

Senior Maria Parker, HINU’s all-time leader in scoring, rebounding and blocked shots, had six points and 10 rebounds. George also added six rebounds and four steals.

“We played hard last night and lost to the No. 8-ranked team in the nation (College of the Ozarks). We were a little tired,” Haskell coach Phil Homeratha said. “The second half, we kind of dominated the game. For us, it’s big.”

Haskell (19-6) will play at Central Christian College on Tuesday in McPherson.
