The Hornets? two-game road trip turned out to be fruitless as they suffered losses against Eastern Washington and Portland State by a combined 50 points.

Head coach Carolyn Jenkins felt it was evident that her team has, at this point in the season, become a bunch of road weary warriors.

“It was very evident we were tired, a lot of our shots were falling short,” Jenkins said. “We were not moving well.”

Those characteristics explained the Hornets in both of their road games last week. Smelling blood in the water, their two opponents attacked the Hornets? weakness and constantly pushed the ball up the court.

“Defensively, we had a lot of trouble defending the transition,” Jenkins said.The Hornets? first game of the two- game road swing was an 80-63 loss to Portland State. The Hornets started out clicking on offense, but they began to crumble on the defensive side of the ball, thus losing control of the game.

The Hornets were paced by Sephora Scoubes, who had 21 points. Torilynn Boyd also chipped in 19.

The Hornets needed a lot more production offensively with their defense being shredded by a team that shot 51 percent from the field en route to an 80-point effort.

The Hornet defense was victimized in the following game as well, this time by Eastern Washington. It was tough for the Hornets to stay in the game as they shot just 25.9 percent from the field in the first half. Eastern Washington followed the same blue print that Portland State used and had similar success.

“As a team we were ice cold. Our legs were gone and it was Senior Night for them. We got hammered in every way possible,” Jenkins said.

Scoubes again led the Hornets in scoring with 17 points.

The Hornets are now done with their road schedule. The Hornets next game will be home at Hornet Gym, Thursday against Montana at 7:05 p.m.
