The Northland women's basketball team fell 72-50 at top-ranked Rochester Community & Technical College Friday night but bounced back with a dominant 103-29 win over Western Tech Saturday in Lacrosse, Wis.
The Pioneers started strong Friday against the Yellowjackets with an 11-2 lead four minutes into the contest. The Yellowjackets battled back and took their first lead, 14-13, with 3:42 to go in the opening quarter.
The Pioneers trailed 19-16 at the end of the first, but opened the second quarter on an 8-4 run to take a 24-23 lead with 7:13 left in the half. Both teams struggled offensively for a stretch before Kayla James hit a three-pointer giving the Yellowjackets a 26-24 lead with 5:42 left in the half. James' three-pointer would end up giving the Yellowjackets the lead for good as they closed out the half on an 8-2 run.
The Pioneers were down by five, 31-26, to start the third quarter, but their offensive struggles would continue as the Yellowjackets pulled away with a 22-10 scoring edge in the third quarter and 19-14 edge in the fourth.
Emma Osborn and
Riley Mooney both reached double figures for the Pioneers Friday night. Osborn connected on five three-point attempts on her way to 18 points, while Mooney got the bulk of her 10 points in the paint.
The Pioneers bounced back from their lowest point total of the season on Friday with their highest point total Saturday in a 103-29 win over a Western Tech team with just six players in uniform. The Pioneers led 21-4 after one quarter was in the books and the lead was 47-10 at the half.
Four of Northland's starting five and one non-starter finished in double figures for the Pioneers. Osborn,
Josie Iverson and
Tiyana Schwinghammer scored 20 points each.
Shavonda Bender added 11 points, and
Hannah Halvorson scored 13 points while coming off the bench.
