From Monday to Saturday, the glaring growth in sophomore guard Maddy Watters’ game was her confidence and newfound lack of hesitation.
Watters finally settled in after going 1-of-5 from 3-point range during a nail-biting loss to South Dakota State in her first career start. The shot opportunities were the same, but this time the ball fell through the net.
She came up short on her first attempt but then dropped in four-straight 3-pointers – leading Central Michigan’s stunning 38-point first quarter effort and setting a tone for her peers.
Finding her role on the team, Watters’ 18 points helped the Chippewas (2-1) to a 108-90 victory over Western Kentucky on Nov.
