Terry Nooner's first win as a head coach came with a celebratory water bath in the locker room. Guard DJ McCarty declined to identify the person who organized the dousing with water bottles.
"Sisterhood," she said. "No names."
That provided a fitting description for Wednesday's 60-41 win over Presbyterian College at Koch Arena. The Shockers (1-1) relied on all those team-first assets that don't lend themselves to standouts. Defense and balanced scoring controlled the game from the first quarter.
Wichita State won every effort and physical category from rebounding to foul shots.
