ST. LOUIS - Saint Louis junior forward Kim Bee netted a career-high 10 points and junior forward Mallory Eggert recorded her second straight double-double as the Billikens rolled to a 73-51 victory over Missouri-St. Louis Tuesday in women's basketball action at Chaifetz Arena.

Bee's 11 points came on 5-of-12 shooting from the field. She also corralled seven rebounds. Eggert registered 11 points and 11 boards for her second double-double in a row and the fourth of her career. Junior guard Jacy Bradley had a team-high-tying 11 points on 5-of-8 shooting from the floor. She also dished out four assists to tie senior guard Janisha Gearlds for team-high honors. Sophomore forward Lorreal Jones had nine rebounds.

SLU, which recorded its season scoring high for a second consecutive outing, improved to 4-6 overall with its second win in a row. The Billikens shot 41 percent for the game, which included a 54.5 percent clip in the second half, for their second straight effort above 40 percent. Saint Louis out-rebounded UMSL (4-4) 59-36, including 25 offensive boards.

Caitlyn Moody (10 points) and Devonna Smith (eight rebound) led UMSL.

"For the kids to come out and stay poised and focused and maintain their intensity for 40 minutes when they're in the midst of studying for (final) exams, I couldn't be more pleased as a coach," head coach Shimmy Gray-Miller said.

"I continue to be impressed with the maturity and growth we've shown in such a short period of time," Gray-Miller said. "(We're) taking care of the ball, distributing the ball and really valuing our possessions on the offensive end."

In addition to their season-high point total, the Billikens registered season bests of 32 field goals, 19 assists and 10 steals. SLU committed just 12 turnovers and tallied more assists than turnovers for a second consecutive game.

The Billikens were up by nine at halftime and led by double digits most of the second half. A 6-0 run early in the second frame, constructed by a pair of buckets by Bee and a jumper from Bradley, gave SLU a 45-31 advantage with 15 minutes remaining. The Bills manufactured another 6-0 run several minutes later thanks to consecutive baskets by Jenna Mueller and a jumper by Bradley.

UMSL trimmed its deficit to 15 with 10 minutes remaining before the Billikens went on a 9-1 run, putting the Bills on top 63-40. The Billikens would protect their 20-point advantage the rest of the way and cruised to the 22-point win.

The Billikens took a nine-point lead into halftime thanks in part to a seven-point, eight-rebound effort by Eggert in the opening half. The squads traded baskets early on before SLU went on an 11-0 run, ignited by a Bee layup and capped by a Bradley trey. Desirae Ball had a pair of baskets in the scoring spree, and Eggert converted a layup.

UMSL responded to cut its deficit to three at 17-14 midway through the first session, then SLU went on a 12-2 spurt to go on top by 13 with 3:29 remaining in the half. Courtney Webb hit a pair of free throws, Bee hit a runner and Webb laid one in. Following a Triton basket, Eggert and Bradley had layups and Jamesia Price hit a free throw to give the Billikens a double-digit lead late in the half. Ball had a game-high eight points at the break.
