MILWAUKEE, Wis. – The Milwaukee Area Technical College women's basketball team had little trouble dismantling Waubonsee Community College on the road Monday evening.

Led by their tenacious defense that held the Chiefs to 22.9 percent shooting from the field, the Stormers were able to quickly jump out to a 20-10 first-quarter lead before never looking back to take a decisive 80-51 victory. The road win helped snap a three-game skid and allowed MATC to improve its record to 3-5 on the year.

Outside of dominating on the defensive end, the Stormers put together a great display in the paint and on the glass. As a group, MATC scored 34 paint points and out-rebounded Waubonsee 49-40, while adding seven total blocks.

Leading the way for the Stormers was none other than sophomore Alexis Ayers, who played all 40 minutes of action. The second-year point guard shot 8-of-19 from the field, totaling 19 points, three assists and three rebounds. Ayers also led the team with three made 3-pointers.

Freshman Heaven Cooper also had a solid performance after finishing the night 7-of-12 from the field. Cooper tallied 17 points, eight rebounds, five assists and a pair of deflections. Freshman Arlinda Roundtree added 15 points, five rebounds and two assists. Freshman Makayla Carney finished with 13 points, eight rebounds and a pair of blocks. Freshman Chloey Bynum pitched in 10 points, seven of which came off a 7-of-8 performance from the stripe. Freshman Abby Moertl led the team in rebounds (12), blocks (5), and steals (3).
