Senior-Freshman Combo Unstoppable for Slugs
Chabot Achieves New Career High

Number 33, Jenna Chabot
NEW CAREER HIGH: Jenna Chabot outscores previous career high by 3 points, gets new career high with 24 points.
SANTA CRUZ, CA -- On Friday night, the UCSC Women's Basketball Team picked up their 5th win of the season with a 66-47 victory over visiting William Jessup University. Senior Jenna Chabot and Freshman Kayleigh Calandri combined for 44 points on the night: shooting 51% from the field (16-31), 53% from beyond the arc (7-13), and 71% from the charity stripe (5-7).

In the first half, Calandri would be the one to carry the Slugs through a dismal shooting half (28% from the field), as she went into the locker room with 13 points, hitting 3 3-pointers to help the Slugs to an 8 point lead at the half. Calandri would add 7 more points in the second half to finish with 20. In the second half, Chabot helped the Slugs catch fire (55% from the field) as she went 3-3 from beyond the arc and 7-11 from the field, totaling 17 second half points. Chabot finished the game with a career high 24 points. Known for her 3pt. shooting, Jenna took over the paint against Jessup as she pulled down 9 rebounds (another career high); 6 of which were offensive.

Juniors Megan Gaynor and Perbey Pandac added 6 points apiece, Rachel Ocampo added 4 points and 3 assists, while Senior Libby Lane led all players with 4 assists on the night.

All the pieces are starting to come together for the Slugs. With four key players that are putting up great numbers and a solid cast coming off the bench, these Slugs are looking to turn their season around. Though the Slugs have known it all season, this victory (now 5-12) proves on paper how much they have improved in just their second season with Head Coach Nikki Turner (4-20 last year).

The Slugs travel down south this weekend to face La Sierra on Friday and fellow DIII Independent Chapman University on Saturday.
