Port Huron, MI - The St. Clair County Community College (SC4) women's basketball team picked up a big conference victory Saturday, knocking off Macomb Community College 74–64 behind a strong defensive effort and a balanced scoring attack.
SC4 opened the game with energy, taking a 24–14 lead after the first quarter thanks to efficient shooting and ball movement. The Skippers shot 42.9% from the field in the opening frame including 5-for7- from behind the arc. The Skippers were able to extend their lead in the second quarter, taking a 41–28 lead into halftime.
Macomb made its biggest surge in the third quarter, shooting a game‑high 38.9% from the field and cutting into the Skipper lead. But SC4 weathered the run, leaning on timely scoring to maintain control. In the fourth quarter, the Skippers sealed the win with clutch free throws and strong rebounding.
SC4 had contributions up and down the lineup:
- Soleil DeJesus posted a game high 25 points off the bench while also pulling down 6 rebounds.
- Iliana Williams secured a double-double, scoring 14 points while bringing in 11 rebounds.
- Taylor Wallace added in 10 points to go along with her 8 rebounds.
In total, SC4 shot 35.6% from the field and made eight three-pointers while winning the rebounding battle 53-26.
