| With three games in the last week, the women's
basketball team maintained its hold on the No. 2 spot in the Iowa
Conference with a record of 10-3 and 13-4 overall.
"This was one of our toughest weekends, so I am very pleased," said head coach Monica Severson. Saturday, the Knights squared off against Buena Vista in the teams' second meeting of the season. The Knights prevailed again, 81-68. "I was excited because we came out and hit our first three shots and were up before there was really any time off the clock," said junior Jenni Donohue, who had 17 points. Junior Molly Mason led the team in scoring with 20 points while sophomore Brianne Schoonover added 17 and freshman Holly Mohs contributed 13 points to the attack. The Knights were led on the boards by senior Carrie Hansen, who grabbed 10 of the teams 38 total rebounds. "We rebounded well and we shot pretty well as a team," said Donohue. The Knights game against BV came after a Friday night victory against William Penn in which Wartburg won, 83-67. "We came out kind of flat and we talked about that before the game, too. We came out in the second and picked up the defense and that led to more offense," said Schoonover. The week was not a perfect one for the women, as they lost 83-67 against Simpson Tuesday. The Storm is on top of the conference. The Knights will compete in two conference games this week, both at home. "It will be a key week to take care of business at home," said Severson. Friday the Knights face Upper Iowa (7-6, 10-7) and Saturday they take on Cornell (7-6, 11-6). Both games will begin at 6 p.m. |
