Bird Takes HCAC Player-of-the-Week Honors
GREENWOOD, Ind. – Sarah Bird led Defiance to its eighth win of the year, and third in as many tries with a 25-point outburst in the Yellow Jackets’ 86-60 victory against Myers University on Thursday night.
Bird poured in 20 of her career high 25 points in the second half of DC’s 26-point win on seven-of-eight shooting from the floor after the break. The Fayette, Ohio, native added three assists and a pair of steals to her 25-point showing.
The performance ignited a second-half rally for Defiance, as the Jackets racked up 57 points in the final 20 minutes and hit 18 of their first 21 shots from the field to turn a five-point halftime deficit into the 26-point victory.
