The Eastern Mennonite University (EMU) women&#8217;s\u00a0basketball team\u00a0never trailed as they opened with a 26-2 barrage and rolled over visiting Ferrum by a final of 81-65.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444\">The Royals improve to 6-1 as they get a few days off for final exams. \u00a0The women have now won 22 straight at home. Ferrum, an injury-hampered team which was picked to finish second in the USA South, slips to 2-3.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444\">Eastern Mennonite had a 4-0 lead just 20 seconds into the game, as\u00a0<strong><a style=\"color: #0079c2\" href=\"http:\/\/www.emuroyals.com\/sports\/wbkb\/2014-15\/bios\/moore_sa-mone_93g3\">Sa&#8217;Mone Moore<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Covington, Va.\/Covington) buried a pair of long jumpers.\u00a0<strong><a style=\"color: #0079c2\" href=\"http:\/\/www.emuroyals.com\/sports\/wbkb\/2014-15\/bios\/rheinheimer_jess_rlra\">Jess Rheinheimer<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Manheim, Pa.\/Lancaster Mennonite) then scored the next eight, including a pair of three pointers, as the women led 12-0. Ferrum got their first bucket at the 16:19 mark, but the Royals scored the next 14 points, including four more triples, to blow open a 26-2 cushion just 8:33 in.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444\">The Panthers rebounded with a 13-2 run to get within 28-15. EMU stayed hot from outside, however, and never let their visitors back to within single digits.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444\">The Royals hit 10-of-13 three pointers in the first half and led 46-31 at the break.\u00a0 They finished 12-of-27 for the game, but still out-shot Ferrum 49 percent to 44 percent. EMU also had a 36-30 edge in rebounding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444\">Rheinheimer was unstoppable and led the charge with 23 points, seven rebounds, five assists and three steals.\u00a0<strong><a style=\"color: #0079c2\" href=\"http:\/\/www.emuroyals.com\/sports\/wbkb\/2014-15\/bios\/zumfelde_marla_cgp4\">Marla zumFelde<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Goshen, Ind.\/Bethany Christian) drained 6-of-9 three pointers and finished with 18 points and two blocks.\u00a0<strong><a style=\"color: #0079c2\" href=\"http:\/\/www.emuroyals.com\/sports\/wbkb\/2014-15\/bios\/sykes_shakeerah_r0px\">Shakeerah Sykes<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Dumfries, Va.\/Forest Park) came in with 10 points and Moore charted nine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0079c2\" href=\"http:\/\/www.emuroyals.com\/sports\/wbkb\/2014-15\/bios\/brown_alisa_h3nu\">Alisa Brown<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Dumfries, Va.\/Forest Park) had the eye for the open shooter and racked up 10 assists, easily breaking her career best for a game. She now has 17 assists over EMU&#8217;s last two outings, as the senior had seven handouts in Tuesday&#8217;s 81-76 win at Randolph-Macon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444\">Zarkia Mattox led Ferrum with 18 points, seven rebounds and five assists off the bench. Jacole Hairston scored 14 while Kemani Crawford added 12 points and seven boards.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444\">EMU has the week off before playing next Saturday at The Apprentice School.\u00a0 Game time in Newport News, Va., is 2 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a battle of regional powers Saturday in Harrisonburg, it quickly turned into a battle that never was.
