They missed a bevy of layups. They turned the ball over 33 times. Not usually a recipe for success.

But the College of Southern Idaho women made up for their shortcomings with a dominating performance on the glass, routing Lethbridge College (Alberta) 93-55 Friday to open the Boise Office Equipment Tournament.

“It was messy,” said CSI sophomore Maddy Plunkett, who led the rebounding effort with 11 boards and scored 14 points. “It seemed like a good opportunity to come and run our stuff, but it just seemed like we couldn’t do it. It was just a sloppy game.”

CSI outrebounded the Kodiaks 64-26, getting repeated second-chance points.

Backup guard Felicity Jones came off the bench to corral 10 rebounds.

“We crashed the boards really good,” said Jones. “Getting 64 rebounds, that’s great for our team.”

Shauneice Samms dominated in the paint for CSI, hitting 8 of 11 shots on her way to 17 points. She added seven boards and three blocks. After being turnover-prone early, point guard Daidra Brown flirted with a triple-double, finishing with 13 points, eight assists and nine steals.

CSI took charge of the game with a 16-2 spurt that turned a 10-8 deficit into a 24-12 advantage. The lead ballooned to 27 before the Eagles took a 51-26 edge into halftime.

“The first of the first half was messy, then we started to find a groove and fast break,” said Jones.

Kayla Lambert hit consecutive treys to bring Lethbridge within 51-32 to start the half, but those were the only 3-point makes of the night for Kodiaks, who went 2-for-20 from distance. CSI soon built to lead to 30 and coasted home.

Natalie Johnson’s 20 points led Lethbridge (9-2), which had 30 turnovers of its own.

Laurel Kearsley (17 points) and Devan Matkin (10 points) came off the bench to give CSI a lift in the sloppy affair.

“We made progress in rebounding and pushing the ball up the floor,” said Jones. “The frustration was we gave up a lot of turnovers.”

Said Plunkett: “Tonight I felt like even though it was a win, I don’t think overall as a team we made progress.”

Tonight’s game against Northwest (Wyo.) College is the final chance to catch CSI at home in 2009. The Eagles play nine straight games away from CSI Gymnasium before hosting the College of Eastern Utah on Jan. 14, 2010.

Southern Idaho All Stars 104, Northwest College 95

Northwest (4-4) was led by Laura Purina’s 23 points and five steals. Megan Smith scored 19, while Katie Oliverson had 16 points and nine boards.
