WEBSTER GROVES — Alandyn Simmons remembers every one of her 3-point attempts this season.The Lift for Life sophomore forward doesn't have to dig too deep into her memory."Never took one, never made one," Simmons said.Until Tuesday night, that is.The 5-foot-9-inch forward canned her first triple of the season to power the Hawks to a 56-51 win over St. Joseph's in the opening round of the Webster Winter Challenge at Roberts Gymnasium.Simmons finished with a career-best 14 points and ignited a fourth-quarter rally that sent her team into the semifinal round of the eight-team, weeklong affair.
