The Williams Yellowjackets's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Tuesday after their ninth straight loss. The match between them and Maxwell wasn't particularly close, with Williams falling 39-22. The result was an unpleasant reminder to Williams of the 36-22 loss they experienced in the two teams' previous head-to-head fixture back in January.
When it comes to explaining why Williams lost, one person who can't be blamed is Kim Guevara. Despite the final result, she scored 14 points. As a matter of fact, that's the most points Guevara has scored all season.
Emma Hendrix continued her habit of posting crazy stat lines for Maxwell, dropping a double-double on 17 points and 15 rebounds. That makes it three consecutive games in which Hendrix has scored at least a third of Maxwell's points. Camila Hernandez was another key contributor, scoring nine points along with six steals.
Williams dropped their record down to 1-14 with that defeat, which was their sixth straight at home. Those losses could be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they only averaged 18.7 points per game. As for Maxwell, they have been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four games, which provided a nice bump to their 8-6 record this season.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Williams will face off against the Braves at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. Hamilton will be looking to extend their current eight-game winning streak. As for Maxwell, they will head out on the road to take on the Lynx at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. CORE Butte is coming into the contest on a three-game losing streak.
