KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Kansas City Women's Basketball found the get right game they were looking for Saturday afternoon in a 109-59 win over Haskell Indian Nations to break a five game skid inside the Swinney Center. Kansas City was led by the Bennett twins, who combined for 52 points and 20 made field goals against the Fighting Indians.
Elauni Bennett recorded a career-high 27 points on 10-17 shooting from the floor and grabbed 15 rebounds, nine of those boards being on the offensive side of the glass. El. Bennett is the fourth player in program history to notch 27 points and 15 rebounds in a single game since the 2002-03 season.
Her twin sister Emani Bennett tallied 25 points, making it the third time in the last four games Em. Bennett has totaled 25 points or more in a game. Together, the Bennett twins are the third duo in Roos history to both score 25 points or more in a game since 2002-03 and the first since back in January of the 2024-25 season.
Kansas City found a groove offensively after a slow first few minutes, going on a 21-point unanswered run from 6:36 to the 2:49 mark of the first quarter. The dominant scoring streak was built off pesky defense with the Roos forcing seven steals in that span as well as efficient shot-making, going 8-11 from the field in the 21-0 run that put KC up 26-8 in the first.
The Roos used a three-point barrage from Em. Bennett and the steady interior presence of El. Bennett, who gobbled up rebounds and used the paint as her own personal layup line, to build a substantial lead. The Roos strong defense remained for the entirety of the contest, forcing 35 turnovers which was a season-high for the team. Kansas City also converted those 35 turnovers into 52 points of offense and reached 21 fast break points.
The Roos came close to breaking the most ever points scored in a half mark of 64, which the Roos set against Hesston earlier this year. KC reached 60 points at half and led by a 25 point margin, one that grew up to 50 points by the final buzzer. Another fact of note came in the steals department, where the Roos marked up 22 steals for the game, breaking a program record that stood for 27 years.
In totality, 13 Roos made it on the score sheet for the game, making it the most in a game since 2011. Kansas City shot 49% overall, 38% from three and 79% from the free throw line, making it one of the more well-rounded efficiency games of the year for the team. Kansas City closes out the non-conference slate on the road against Missouri at 2 p.m. next Sunday.
