The University Trailblazers will look to take advantage of their home-court for the first time this season as they take on the Danville Warriors at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Hopefully University focused on turnovers this week as the team gave up 23 on Saturday.
University is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after starting their season on the road. They fell just short of Lafayette Jefferson by a score of 57-54.
Despite their loss, University saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Sydney Culp, who went 5 for 11 en route to 15 points, was perhaps the best of all. Another player making a difference was Leah Norvell, who went 5 for 12 en route to 13 points plus eight rebounds and two steals.
Meanwhile, a well-balanced attack led Danville over Perry Meridian in every quarter on their way to victory on Thursday. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that Danville blew Perry Meridian out of the water with a 61-14 final score. The game was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 36-4.
Emma Ancelet went supernova for Danville, going 7 for 10 en route to 18 points plus eight assists and eight rebounds. What's more, Ancelet also posted a 70% field goal percentage, which is the highest she's posted since back in November of 2023. Addison Davis was another key player, going 7 for 10 en route to 14 points plus six rebounds and three steals.
Things could have been worse for University, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 50-34 loss to Danville in their previous matchup back in November of 2023. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Ancelet, who dropped a double-double on 11 points and 13 rebounds. Now that University knows the damage she can cause, will they be able to stop her this time? There's only one way to find out.
