Camden’s big night helps Rams to 79-40 victory

Madison Camden scored a game-high 31 points and became Glenwood’s all-time leading scorer in a 79-40 win over Creston last Tuesday.

Camden hit 10-of-14 shots on the night, including 7-of-10 three-pointers, for her game-high night. Her 1,309 points for her career broke the record of 1,295 points scored by Morgan Lucy from 2009-2012.
With two straight road games coming up for Glenwood, coach Brian Rasmussen said he and Camden’s teammates wanted the senior guard to break the record at home.

And she did just that. Camden took a skip pass from Danika Arnold in the third quarter knocked down a three-pointer to break Lucy’s record.

“She was pretty dialed in,” Rasmussen said. “We wanted her to get the school record here. We set her up in position to do that. She was really efficient too. She wasn’t just getting a lot of looks, she was efficient and didn’t need a lot of shots.”

The Rams (13-2 overall, 9-0 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference) wasted little time getting up on the Panthers, opening the game on an 18-6 run.

“That was probably one of our better starts of the season, we haven’t been consistent in the first quarter through the year,” he said. “This is more the standard we’re looking for. I was excited about how focused we were and how we started and built from there.”

The Rams, who shot 54 percent from the field and forced 27 turnovers on defense, closed the fourth quarter on a 20-2 run.

Jenna Hopp and Brynlee Arnold chipped in 13 and 10 pointes, respectively for Glenwood.

Doryn Paup paced Creston with 26 points and 13 rebounds.
