HOUGHTON, Mich. — Kylie Moxlie scored 18 points and Danielle Blake added 16 more to lift Michigan Tech to an 83-53 victory over Hillsdale at the SDC Gym tonight. The Huskies built up a 25-7 lead after 10 minutes and went on to its 10th win of the season.
Tech (10-5, 8-3 GLIAC) limited the Chargers to 34 percent shooting for the game (2-of-16 in the first quarter). The Black and Gold connected on 56 percent of their shots.
Moxley, who scored just six points all last week, posted her best total since the GLIAC opener Dec. 3 by making 6-of-8 field goals and all six foul shots.
Blake went 8-of-12 from the floor and grabbed eight rebounds. Mackenzie Perttu (12 points) and Lindsay Winter (10) also reached double figures.
"This was a great home win," said Tech coach Kim Cameron. "We started well, had a little lull in the second quarter, but finished it off well. Dani made some big plays for us, and Kylie finished really well."
Hillsdale (8-7, 5-6 GLIAC) trimmed a 30-9 deficit to 34-25 with 1:32 left in the second quarter. Perttu knocked down a 3-pointer to send the hosts into the break up 37-25.
The Chargers were within nine twice in the third quarter but never any closer the rest of the way.
Michigan Tech will host GLIAC North Division-leading Saginaw Valley State on Saturday (Jan. 23). Tipoff at the SDC Gym is slated for 1 p.m.
