SAN ANTONIO – For the second time this season, the St. Mary's University Women's Basketball team led wire-to-wire as all 12 active players were on the court for at least five minutes in the team's home opening win over Concordia on Monday night, 64-42.
The Rattlers are now 3-1 on the season, while the Tornados drop to 0-2. St. Mary's shot lights out in the first half, building a 22-to-7 lead and never looked back, connecting on 56.3 percent from the field (9-for-16) and 50 percent from beyond the arc (4-for-8) in the first 10 minutes.
Junior
Kamryn Griffin (San Antonio) tallied her second-straight double-double with 20 points and 11 rebounds, leading both teams in both categories, and she was the only player in the game to score in double digits. Junior
Raynne Malik (London, Ontario) was right behind her with 10 rebounds. Fellow junior
Tiara Louis (San Antonio) had a perfect shooting night, making all three of her shots, with two triples for eight points.
Griffin is the first player since
Christin Callens (Houston) in Feb. 2025 to post back-to-back 20+ point scoring games after scoring a career-high 29 against Hawaii Pacific. Callens scored 31 at Oklahoma Christian on Feb. 13, 2025 and followed it up with 22 at Cameron on Feb. 15.
Senior
Andrea Montesinos (Valencia, Spain) once again came off the bench to lead the team with four assists, while freshman guard
Rosanelly Pastrano (San Antonio) led the team with three steals and added three assists and four rebounds.
Eleven of the 12 Rattlers who played had at least one rebound and 10 of the 12 scored two or more points, as Coach
Valerie Huizar worked on finding rotations to help the team succeed later during the always strenuous Lone Star Conference season.
The Rattlers remain at home, hosting South Dakota School of Mines on Friday, Nov. 12 at 6 p.m. and Black Hills State on Saturday, Nov. 13 at 4 p.m. as part of the South Central Region Crossover.
