WEST PALM BEACH, FLA.-St. Thomas (4-5, 4-0 TSC) took down conference rivals Keiser (4-8, 1-4 TSC) and improved to a perfect 4-0 in Sun Conference play on Thursday night by a final score of 73-56.
 
On the night, four Bobcats scored in double figures as consistency was key. Every quarter, minus the fourth, ended in favor of the visiting team as the pressure never let up.
 
The first quarter had KU jump out to its biggest lead of the game with five straight points to open up the game. After that, the Bobcats came back and battled the opposition until the lead was diminished and in turn, taken by STU.
 
Second quarter play had St. Thomas net over 20 points in a quarter for one of two consecutive quarters in this game. 21 points were scored in the quarter, compared to Keiser's 16, which led the Bobcats to the half with a 40-31 advantage, and it would only get better.
 
It was the third quarter that really had STU open this game up as a game-high 18-point lead was recorded midway through the third. The opening run for the Bobcats consisted of a 9-to-2 run in which Keiana Brooks scored five of her eight points while Ebony Griffin recorded two points, a steal and two assists.
 
The third quarter pretty much dictated how the rest of the game went as the Bobcats never looked back. The final score of the game read 73-56, which provided STU another win to add to its perfect record in conference play which is currently at 4-0.
