Makayla Kimble – VIU Mariners

Fourth-year guard Makayla Kimble shot the lights out and earned game-highs in points in two VIU victories on the road this weekend at Okanagan College. In Friday’s tight 10-point win, Kimble scored a game-high 15 points, seven of those in the second quarter as VIU went from being down to taking the lead for good. She added three rebounds and three steals in the game. Then on Saturday, the Mariners put up the most points in a PACWEST women’s basketball game this season with 91, and Kimble led the way with 34 of those points. She had 18 in the first half as the Mariners again came back from being down after the first quarter to surge ahead. Over the game, she shot 60% from the field, went 5 for 7 from beyond the arc, and was tied for the game-high in assists with four.
