Freshman Heather Harman scored 18 points in just 10 minutes of action, pacing three Lady Panthers in double-figures as Drury rolled to a 107-40 victory over Avila in a women's college basketball exhibition game Sunday afternoon at the O'Reilly Family Event Center.

Senior Sanayika Shields added 15 points and junior Southwestern Illinois College transfer Breana Baker added 11 points and a team-high eight rebounds for the Lady Panthers in their first public game action under first-year head coach Molly Miller.

All 13 Lady Panthers scored, as well as played at least 10 minutes - with Arkansas transfer Ana-Carlota Faussurier leading the way at 24 minutes - as the team picked as the Great Lakes Valley Conference West favorite and No. 3 in the nation in Division II Bulletin preseason poll rolled from the get-go.

A 22-0 run early in the first half helped propel the Lady Panthers to a 60-17 halftime advantage. Drury made 59 percent of its shots (23 of 39) over the first 20 minutes and finished at 53 percent (40 of 75) for the game.

Miller's pressure defense forced 33 turnovers by the NAIA-member Eagles, who made just 9 of 36 shots (25 percent) for the game.

Shelby White had six of Drury's 17 steals, with freshman Lexi Harman adding three. 

Shields, the team's other senior with White, made all six of her shots from the field and added six rebounds, two steals and two blocked shots in her 16 minutes of action.

"I was excited that every player got to see the floor and contribute to helping us translate what we're learning in practice to live game situations," Miller said. "For a first effort, it was great to see the balanced scoring we were able to utiize today. I was happy with the pace of the game for us at both ends of the floor."

Kelsey McConnell and Luci Sarcone had six points each to lead Avila, which was outrebounded 45-27 and made just 1 of 13 from 3-point range.

Drury will play its final exhibition game next Saturday (2 p.m.) when the Lady Panthers entertain Lyon (Ark.) at The O'.
