Speed powers Foresters

The Foresters weren’t at their best in the first half Saturday. But Pazia Speed kept them in the game.
Speed, a 2010 Jay County High School graduate, scored 14 of her season-high 30 points in the first half while the rest of her team shot just 4-of-27 from the field. Her effort allowed the Huntington University women’s basketball team to stay close enough to rally from a double-digit deficit to knock off Grace 76-74 in double overtime.
Speed shot 12-of-14 from the free-throw line and 9-of-18 from the field to lead the Foresters (14-6). She added six rebounds, four assists and one steal.
She also shot 50 percent from the field Wednesday in Huntington’s 85-77 overtime loss to top-ranked St. Francis.
Speed ranks in the top 20 in the county in NAIA’s Division II in points (17th - 369), free-throw percentage (17th - .850) and points per game (20th – 18.5). She is also averaging 3.7 assists, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.9 steals per game.
