Seaman's girls basketball team posted its second straight lopsided Centennial League decision Tuesday night in a 52-17 win over Topeka West at Seaman.

Topeka West led 8-6 at the end of the first quarter, but Seaman flipped a switch in the second quarter with the Vikings establishing their presence from mid-range instead of forcing shots on the outside of the arc, like they did in the first quarter.

Lady Vike guards Taylin Stallbaumer and Anna Becker were the catalysts in the second quarter for Seaman, which ended the first half on a 21-2 run.

Becker, a freshman, scored a game-high 17 points to lead Seaman while Stallbaumer, a sophomore, added 13.

Topeka West had a difficult time finding quality shots against Seaman’s full-court press defense. Carstyn Anderson and Jaycee Schumann were leading the charge of prodding the ball free and forcing the Chargers to make unorthodox passes that wound up being turnovers.

It didn’t get easier driving the ball in the paint for the Chargers, with 6-foot-1 Seaman center Brooklyn Gormley established her post presence.

Seaman’s starters were phenomenal on Tuesday night, but the contributions by the bench did not go unnoticed.

Jaida Stallbaumer, Lindsey Smith and Lauren Stuewe played a pivotal part in the victory. The trio shot 67 percent from the field and 75 percentfrom the free throw line.

The Lady Vikes (2-0) will hit the road and take on Emporia (1-1) in Emporia on Friday night. Topeka West (0-2) will host Topeka High (2-0) on Friday.
