GRAND FORKS, ND \u2013<\/strong> The University of North Dakota women’s basketball team dropped a close contest to Green Bay, 66-63, on Sunday afternoon at the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center. After a strong start to the season, the Fighting Hawks fall to 2-1, while Green Bay improves to 2-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game was a back-and-forth battle from start to finish, featuring 14 lead changes and eight ties. Green Bay took an early lead with a three-pointer at 8:51, but Nevaeh Ferrara Horne<\/a><\/dfn> answered with a three-point jumper from the corner to tie it up at 8:22. The Hawks held a narrow lead until 3:10, when Green Bay regained the advantage with a three-pointer. Walker Demers<\/a><\/dfn> tied it again a minute later with a layup, allowing UND to finish the first quarter with a 12-10 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second quarter, UND’s 17 points came from just three players: Kiera Pemberton<\/a><\/dfn> (9 points), Mikayla Aumer<\/a><\/dfn> (6 points), and Demers (2 points). Despite Green Bay outscoring the Hawks 18-17 in the quarter, UND held a one-point lead at halftime, 29-28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third quarter saw UND briefly extend its lead with a quick eight-point run, including a three-pointer from Ferrara Horne that gave the Hawks a six-point advantage at 7:22. However, Green Bay steadily closed the gap, taking the lead with 51 seconds left to end the quarter ahead, 45-44.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fourth quarter was a seesaw affair with eight possession changes. Green Bay’s biggest lead was four points with 18 seconds remaining. The game shifted in Green Bay’s favor as they shot 50% from the field in the final frame and made all seven of their free throws to maintain a narrow lead. Aumer scored five of UND’s 14 points in the fourth, all from the free-throw line. With 2:30 left, Pemberton grabbed her 10th rebound, earning her a double-double on the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aumer led the Hawks with 17 points on 4-of-8 shooting, including 3-of-6 from beyond the arc. Pemberton added 16 points and a game-high 11 rebounds, while Jocelyn Schiller<\/a><\/dfn> contributed 9 points and 5 assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UND will look to bounce back as they return home for another contest on Thursday, November 21, at 7 p.m., when they take on Montana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
