The Red Raiders closed the first half on a 20-8 run and led 43-28 at the break.<\/p>\n Northwestern turned up the defense in the second half, limiting the Jimmies to only three field goals on 13 attempts and created seven turnovers. An 11-0 run early in the third, followed later by a 9-0 run essentially sealed the game for the Raiders.<\/p>\n Jory Mullen<\/a> (SR\/Pierre, SD) led UJ with nine points, while Grace Benz<\/a> (FR\/Steele, ND) and Marina Nowak<\/a> (SR\/Rogers, MN) both finished with eight.<\/p>\n Darbi Gustafson had a game-high 19 for Northwestern (24-3, 18-3 GPAC), who also had Kassidy De Jong (13) and Anna Kiel (12) hit for double figures.<\/p>\n Jamestown finishes the regular season Saturday against Morningside (Iowa) College at 2 p.m.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Men…<\/p>\n ORANGE CITY, Iowa \u00a0 (uj.edu)<\/strong>— Six players hit for double figures as the 15th-ranked University of Jamestown men’s basketball team withstood a second-half Northwestern College rally, defeating the Red Raiders 98-85 Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n Jon Purintun<\/a> (SR\/Linton, ND) had 22 points and four assists for Jamestown (24-5, 14-5 Great Plains Athletic Conference), which locked up at least a tie for second place and the No. 3 seed in the GPAC Conference Tournament. A win Saturday at home against Morningside (Iowa) would give the Jimmies the second seed.<\/p>\n UJ shot 19-of-34 and made 10 of 11 foul shots on the way to a 55-point first half and 17-point halftime lead. The Jimmies opened the game on a 17-4 run and would eventually lead 28-7 with 11:37 in the half following seven straight points by Terrell Alfred<\/a> (JR\/Orlando, FL).<\/p>\n In the second half, Jamestown led by as many as 16 with 12:50 to play after Alfred converted a three-point play.

NWC went on a 13-4 run over the next 3:31 which brought them within four points, 87-83.<\/p>\n Purintun knocked down three of four free throws and added a driving layup, then Isaiah Dobson<\/a> (JR\/Stillwater, MN) hit a back-breaking three-pointer to put the Jimmies ahead 12 with 1:26 to play.<\/p>\n Dobson finished with 20 points, including five three-pointers.
