JAMESTOWN\u00a0 (uj.edu)– The sixth-ranked Jimmie women’s basketball team continued its unbeaten run in North Star Athletic Association conference play, holding the No. 25 Mayville State University Comets to two second-quarter points on the way to a 95-54 victory Saturday afternoon at Harold Newman Arena.<\/p>\n
After allowing the Comets 17 points in the first quarter, the Jimmie defense turned up the intensity in the second ten minutes.<\/p>\n
UJ ( 24-3 overall, 13-0 NSAA) held Mayville State without a field goal on 11 attempts, and the only points the Comets scored came on a pair of Kylee Heurung free throws with 24 seconds remaining in the half. A 15-0 second quarter Jimmie run turned an eight-point first quarter lead into a 23-point cushion.<\/p>\n
Men…<\/p>\n
JAMESTOWN– An 9-0 run to end the first half proved to be the key turning point as the Jimmie men’s basketball team defeated No. 22 Mayville State (N.D.) 69-62 Saturday evening at Harold Newman Arena.<\/p>\n
Jamestown’s win, in conjunction with Dickinson State (N.D.)’s loss at Valley City State (N.D.) and Bellevue (Neb.)’s win against Waldorf (Iowa), creates a three-way tie for the top spot in the North Star Athletic Association conference standings. The Jimmies, Blue Hawks, and Bruins are all 8-5, while the Comets remain a half-game back at 7-5.<\/p>\n
Although there were three ties in the opening half, the Jimmies never trailed. After Garek Droog scored to cut Jamestown’s lead to 32-30 with 4:14 left, the Jimmies scored the final nine points of the half to lead by 11 at the break.<\/p>\n
