Shauneice Samms played like a preseason All-American. Her teammates weren't too shabby either.

The No. 8 College Southern Idaho women's basketball team routed host Sheridan (Wyo.) College 83-64 on Saturday to conclude a 2-0 trip to the Sheridan Tournament.

Samms scored only six points in Friday's season-opening win over Western Wyoming Community College, but tallied 25 points and nine rebounds against Sheridian. Freshman post Laurel Kearsley added 14 points, including a couple 3-pointers and point guard Daidra Brown had 11 points, six boards and numerous steals, including four in the first half.

While CSI shot 45 percent from the field, made 10 of 13 free throws and outrebounded Sheridan 35-30, the statistic that most pleased head coach Randy Rogers was the Golden Eagles' 16 assists.

"We got people the ball in situations where we could score," he said.

After struggling early in Friday's 10-point win over Western Wyoming, CSI come out strong on Saturday. Former Twin Falls star Devan Matkin hit consecutive treys to put CSI up 18-10 and a bucket by Samms later pushed the margin to 27-14.

"The start to this game was much better than (Friday's)," said Rogers.

Sophomore Kendahl Avery scored 15 points in the first half for Sheridan, but was held scoreless after intermission.

Sheridan rallied to within five points on a few occasions, but CSI always answered to rebuild a double-digit cushion. While Rogers said his team still made mistakes, he added that most of Friday's errors were corrected.

That's good news considering this week's Coca-Cola Classic brings three quality teams to CSI Gymnasium. The Golden Eagles host Mesa (Ariz.) Community College on Thursday, No. 6 Midland (Texas) College on Friday and preseason No. 1 Central Arizona College on Saturday. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. each day.
