Baylor women’s basketball sealed third place in the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament, scoring 40 points in the paint and shooting 58.7% from the floor to knockout Villanova, 73-62, Monday afternoon at Atlantis’ Imperial Arena in Paradise Island, Bahamas.
Senior center Aaronette Vonleh set the tone, scoring the first four points of the game for the Bears (5-2) and swatting a Villanova (4-3) shot into the bleachers two minutes later. Vonleh led the team with a season-high 19 points on 8-for-11 shooting.
“We have to play to our strengths each game, and I think we get away from that,” head coach Nicki Collen said postgame on ESPNU.
