Broncbusters roll in final regular-season home game

Garden City, KS-Bruna Costa Da Silva tied a season-high with 23 points, Jolie Mantz returned from a one-game suspension to score 17, and Garden City left no doubt with a 79-50 victory over Pratt Saturday afternoon at Conestoga Arena. 

Hadiya Kennerly had 14 points, and Antonicia Moultrie added 10 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists for the Broncbusters, which snapped a five-game winning streak to improve to 12-16 overall and 9-14 in conference. It was their first victory in nearly a month. 

After Wednesday night's offensive debacle, the Broncbusters rebounded nicely in this one. They were up six after one and by 10 after Mantz drilled a 3-pointer from the corner. Ana Ramos hit a shot in the lane, Costa Da Silva swished a 25-footer, and Garden City was up, 41-25 at the half. 

And the game was never in doubt. 

Sidney Scruggs free throw with 5:11 remaining in the fourth gave the Broncbusters their largest lead of the game, 73-39. 

Garden City limited Pratt (8-21, 3-20), to just 36 precent shooting and 5-of-19 (26 percent) from downtown. They outrebounded the Beavers, 40-21 and had 28 assists on 31 made baskets. 

Dana Imankulova had 16 points for Pratt.
