Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Took an hour and forty three minutes in front of
ten two ninety nine to see the Huskies run their
record to eighteen and two and eight nine to zero
the Big East with a astounding one hundred and fifty seven
win over Villain over Here tonight a gampbavillion, as the
Huskies offense has really rolled these last two games. Time

(00:20):
out for the game recap and that is sponsored by
the Landing Senior living in North Haven. Today, Carter opened
the scoring for Villanova just twenty eight seconds in. It
was their only lead of the game as Azy Fudd
took a drive to the hoop to tie the game
and that started a twelve to nothing run. I'd put
the Huskies up for good in that run. Defense starting

(00:41):
offense with Caitlyn jen finishing this one. Here here's Bosco
front court left, good crossover gets by Chen to the rim.
Bumpo l Aufi blocks the shot emphatically. Here comes Chen
down the middle, stops the foul line, puts one up
off glassed in left side of the lane. Caitlin Chenz
first field goal. Defense starting offense, Jen would have a

(01:03):
big night. Yukon was four to five in the first
three to zero five. The Huskies had a second ten
nothing run to open up a twenty four to eleven lead,
Page Becker scoring fourteen points over twenty one in the
first ten minutes. But we had a buzzer beater KK
Arnold second chance points to beat the buzzer. Beckers with
five behind the back dribble gives it the strong fort

(01:25):
three to zero. Good for the right rebound. Arnold beats
the buzzer in scores.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
What an offensive rebound by KK just.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Her ninth offensive board of the season, and at the
end of one on the Brown Panderas and Scott scoreboard
hit yukon thirty one in Villanova fifteen. The reps are
gonna look at it, but that definitely beat the buzzer.
Ye had certainly did. Beckers going off against Villanovas. She
nearly had a double double before getting hurt on the

(01:56):
January fifth game, fifteen minutes into this one, Becky was
seven of nine from the field. And here the old
fashioned three and one for the Huskies. Here's Beckers is
the defender fell Beckers at three and one. It was
Allen that fell. She or Green that fell got up
and bumped Beckers, who buries a three ball. Her free

(02:19):
throw gave her nineteen at the time and a forty
to twenty four lead. Those are the last points of
Beckers would have in the first half. Sarah Strong had
sixteen in the opening twenty here on old fashion and
one for the Huskies final field goal of the opening
twenty Beckers loops to Strong left elbow, spins left towards
the ramlays and up in and one beautiful move.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
We talk about Sarah saw her first quick step. You're thinking, oh,
the big kid, it can't be that quick. Well, she's
deceptive and she just burnt her defender on the first step.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Huskies took a fifty eight to thirty two lead in
a halftime shooting seventy percent. There were six of nine
and from three, and the fifty eight points the second
most points in the first half by a Yukon team
this season, and they kept pedal to the medal to
start the third nine to two out of the gate. Again,
defense starting offense, but the two who started the defense

(03:15):
also finished, Paige Beckers and Sarah Strong. Burke passed, afflected
by Strong, picked off by Beckers, page bounce past Strong,
lays it up and then.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
You could see the whole way. Page wanted to get
it back to Strong. She created the steal and rewarded
her for running the floor strong.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Page had nine assists for the second straight game against
Villanova and the ninth on this night. A transition hope,
beautiful pass to easy fund Becker's rebound. That's her seventh
rebound outlets the Fund lays it up in an end.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Husky's just run in the floor in all directions, misshot
steals to going the other way.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
I put you kind up eighty to forty two. And
for the set second time in this game, KK Arnold
would have a buzzer beater. The first one, of course,
was the putback. The second time it was a mad
dash to the rim six seconds ago. On the third,
here's Arnold driving to the rams. Scoop good and that'll
do it for the third. So KK beats the buzzer

(04:19):
twice and this one and the one end of three
that was pretty to watch. I man a eighty six
forty four. The Huskies again high in the assist numbers tonight,
twenty six assists on a season high forty field goals.
One of those assists was Ashland Shade to ice breed

(04:41):
Brady top of the key scriff and cut back door.
But that pass wasn't there, so you give it a
shade instead, loops the past shade to Brady jumpstop, lays
it into the left. That's nice patience there by Ice
Bradys six.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Nice screening roll again, a two man side of the
floor on the left side, executed well by.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Both An Ali Zabel drive to the rim would put
Yukon to one hundred for the second time this season.
Thirty one p fifteen in the first twenty seven, seventeen
in the second twenty eight twelve and the third fourteen
thirteen in the fourth. It equals Yukon one hundred and
Villanova fifty seven
