CALDWELL, Idaho- Oredigger freshman Tavia Rooney had a record-setting afternoon as Montana Tech defeated William Jessop on Friday at the College of Idaho Dominos Classic. 

Rooney, a true freshman from Townsend, Mont., broke a 41-year old record held by Wanda Sanders grabbing 22 rebounds in the Oredigger victory. Rooney also scored 11 points to notch her third double-double of her young career.

The Orediggers (6-1) jumped on the Warriors, who also entered the contest with a 5-1 record, early leading 20-12 at the end of the first quarter. A pair of Mesa Williams' nifty layups near the end of the second quarter stretched the Oredigger halftime advantage to 12 points, 32-20. 

Williams also had a big day with 24 points on 8-for-16 shooting and a 6-for-9 performance from three point land. Brooke Heggie chipped in 8 points and added 7 rebounds while Mollie Peoples scored 7 points.

Montana Tech led by as many as 22 points in the third quarter before the Warriors tried for a comeback. The Diggers shot just 29 percent from the floor but forced William Jessop into 19 turnovers. 

JoeLyn Stirton led the Warriors with 13 points.
