WEST POINT, N.Y. (Interstat) — In a commanding display fueled by a dominant first quarter and near-perfect free-throw shooting, the Army women’s basketball team remained undefeated with a 67-52 victory over Siena on Thursday night at Christl Arena.

The Black Knights improved to 3-0 on the young season, while the Saints continued to search for their first win, falling to 0-3.

Army seized control of the contest from the opening tip, exploding for 23 points in the first quarter while holding Siena to just 12. The early surge was powered by a balanced attack and stifling defense that forced the Saints into a pattern of mistakes. Siena committed 21 turnovers in the game, which Army converted into 19 points.

The Black Knights’ offensive efficiency was not rooted in high-percentage shooting from the field, where they made 19 of 54 attempts, but in their remarkable accuracy from the free-throw line and their work on the offensive glass. Army converted 22 of 23 free throws, a 95.7 percent clip, and hauled in 14 offensive rebounds to create critical second-chance opportunities.

Camryn Tade, a 5-foot-9 guard from Southlake, Texas, led all scorers with 23 points, consistently attacking the basket and getting to the line. She added six rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes of action. Kya Smith, a 6-foot-1 forward from Lubbock, Texas, recorded a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds, also contributing four assists.

Siena, which shot a respectable 20 of 44 from the floor, was plagued by its own inefficiency and an inability to keep pace with Army’s early scoring. The Saints struggled profoundly from beyond the arc, making just 1 of 10 three-point attempts, and were hampered at the charity stripe, converting only 11 of 20 free throws.

Despite the early deficit, Siena showed resilience, outscoring Army 16-14 in the second quarter to narrow the gap slightly. The Saints continued to battle in the third, matching the Black Knights with 15 points apiece, but could not mount a significant comeback as Army closed out the game with a 16-point fourth quarter.

Genevive Wedemeyer, a guard from Cowbridge, Germany, led Siena with 13 points. Teammate Francesca Schiro from Hillsborough, New Jersey, added 12 points, with many of her baskets coming on determined drives to the hoop.

The game was a tale of two contrasting offensive philosophies. Army scored 67 points on 69 possessions, demonstrating a methodical and effective approach. Siena, meanwhile, managed 52 points on 68 possessions, its offensive flow frequently disrupted by turnovers and missed opportunities from the free-throw line.

Brooke Wilson of Army, from Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, filled the stat sheet with four points, seven rebounds, and four assists, while her defensive presence was felt with multiple steals. Reese Ericson added eight points for the Black Knights.

For Siena, Nicole Melious of Staten Island, New York, chipped in eight points and four rebounds.

The announced attendance at Christl Arena was 549.

Army will look to continue its winning ways on the road, traveling to face Oregon on Sunday. Siena returns home to host Dartmouth on Sunday, still in pursuit of its first victory of the 2025-26 campaign.
