In their second exhibition game of the season, the Kansas State women’s basketball team had what looks to be their normal starting five for this season.
After a slow and struggling first three quarters, the Wildcats took advantage of the fourth and scored 26 points to pull away with a 78-60 win over Fort Hays State.
A slow offensive third quarter for K-State was followed by a fourth-quarter with some impressive threes from the Wildcats. Sophomore guard Christianna Carr drained a three with 5:30 left in the game that helped spark the Wildcats. A minute later Carr would get another three-pointer on an assist and would put the Wildcats back up by 14. 3:25 left another three from Carr. 43 driving down the court with a pass to Lee put a lee at the line to push K-State’s lead to 18.
