Jamestown\u00a0 (UJ<\/a>) All five starters reached double figures for the University of Jamestown women’s basketball team Saturday, as the Jimmies cruised to a 90-47 victory over Mount Marty (S.D.) University at Harold Newman Arena.<\/p>\n Jamestown won for the third straight outing, improving their record to 12-6 overall and 9-6 in the GPAC. Mount Marty falls to 4-15 overall and 2-14 in the conference.<\/p>\n The Lancers took a quick 2-0 lead after a pair of free throws 12 seconds into the contest, but an Audrey Rodakowski<\/a> (FR\/Dickinson, ND) bucket and Noelle Josephson<\/a> (JR\/Ramsey, MN) three-pointer put UJ ahead 5-2 and the Jimmies never looked back.<\/p>\n Jamestown led 12-2 early on and 20-10 after the first quarter. Mount Marty made just three of its 14 shots in the opening quarter and missed all four of its three-point attempts.<\/p>\n A big second quarter by the Jimmies stretched the lead to 24 at the break. The Lancers got within 17 points at the 5:12 mark of the second quarter, only to see UJ close out the quarter on a 12-5 run. Jamestown’s defense surrendered just four made baskets, three of which came from beyond the arc, and did not allow Mount Marty a trip to the foul line.<\/p>\n Jamestown continued their offensive onslaught in the third, outscoring the Lancers 28-9. Hannah DeMars<\/a> (SO\/Grand Rapids, MN), held scoreless in the first half, scored 11 straight points for the Jimmies in a span of 3:39, helping extend the lead to 60-28. A three-point play by Correy Hickman<\/a> (SR\/Morris, MN) gave UJ its first 40-point lead of the contest, and Kia Tower<\/a> (SO\/Bigfork, MN) knocked down a three-pointer to make it a 43-point edge going to the fourth.<\/p>\n Fourteen of the Jimmies’ final 17 points came from the bench, led by Courtney Lloyd<\/a> (JR\/Valley City, ND) and McKenna Becher<\/a> (FR\/West Fargo, ND) with seven each. UJ’s 90 points tied a season high.<\/p>\n Tower led Jamestown with 16 points while Josephson (14 points, 10 rebounds) and Rodakowski (13 points, 14 rebounds) both posted double-doubles. DeMars and Emma Stoehr<\/a> (SR\/Woodbury, MN) added 11 points each. Hickman finished with a season-high nine points, and Lloyd and Becher also recorded season highs.<\/p>\n Next up for the Jimmies is a home game Monday against College of Saint Mary (Neb.) set to tipoff at 12 p.m.<\/p>\n Men…<\/p>\n Jamestown (UJ<\/a>) A 25-10 run to open the second half provided some breathing room for the University of Jamestown men’s basketball team, and the Jimmies went on to a 93-66 win over Mount Marty (S.D.) University Saturday at Harold Newman Arena.<\/p>\n Jamestown moves to 14-5 overall and 10-4 in the GPAC. Mount Marty drops to 7-14 overall and 4-12 in the conference.<\/p>\n The first half was a highly contested battle, with the Jimmies leading by as many as seven before the Lancers went ahead by two.<\/p>\n Elijah Pappas converted a three-point play with 8:36 in the first to give Mount Marty a 24-23 lead. On UJ’s next possession, Allante’ Pickens<\/a> (SR\/Chicago, IL) drained a three-pointer to put Jamestown ahead by two, and the Jimmies never looked back.<\/p>\n Will Cordes<\/a> (FR\/Shakopee, MN) opened the second half with a three-pointer stretching the lead to nine, and another Cordes three with two more from Jack Talley<\/a> (SR\/Sioux Falls, SD) were part of a 14-4 run that quickly made it 55-39.<\/p>\n Mount Marty got as close as 16 one more time in the game, but threes from Cordes and Pickens along with a Cole Woodford<\/a> (FR\/Redwood Falls, MN) bucket helped the lead grow to 23. Jamestown’s largest advantage of the day came after a Mason Walters<\/a> (SO\/Jamestown, ND) three-pointer made it 82-54 with 4:47 remaining.<\/p>\n The Jimmies shot 16-of-31 in the second half while holding Mount Marty to 8-of-34 shooting in the same span. Both teams went 12-of-17 at the foul line, and UJ made 8 of 14 three-pointers to the Lancers’ three of 14.<\/p>\n Cordes led Jamestown with 19 points and sank five three-pointers. Pickens had 18 off the bench, including four threes. Talley finished with 14 and seven rebounds, while Walters and Brock Schrom<\/a> (SR\/Grand Rapids, MN) were also in double figures with 11 each. Schrom had four blocks and Brady Birch<\/a> (SR\/Melrose, MN) added seven rebounds.<\/p>\n UJ is back in action Wednesday at 15th-ranked Morningside.
