WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The Morningside women's basketball team was able to dig out of an 8-0 deficit to earn a road 72-60 win over Keiser on Wednesday. With the win, head coach Jamie Sale earned his 700th win in his career. 

The Mustangs caught up to the Seahawks late in the first quarter, and then outscored them 26-16 in the third quarter to create the distance they needed to go 1-1 on the West Palm Beach trip.

Morningside went on a 14-1 run that went from late in the third quarter to early in the final frame. During that run, Sam Ehlers had two layups, while Dani Peterson started the run off with a layup of her own.

Clancy Brown and Lily Vollertsen also made shots, while Annie Harms made a layup. The run ended with two Vollertsen free throws.

The Mustangs had four ladies in double figure scoring — Vollertsen led with 21, Ehlers with 13, Hall scored 12, and Brown 10. Ali Albrecht hit two 3-pointers, and the Mustangs had five total.

Morningside outrebounded Keiser, 44-28. Vollertsen also had 19 total rebounds. It's the second time Vollertsen collected 19 rebounds in a game (Nov. 15 vs. Midland), and her fourth consecutive game with double-digit rebounds.

Hall dished out five assists, while Jaeden Webb had four. Morningside's defense held Keiser to 35 percent shooting.
