UJ Basketball<\/p>\n

Jamestown\u00a0 (UJ<\/a>)\u00a0 The University of Jamestown women’s basketball team staged a furious comeback attempt Saturday afternoon at Harold Newman Arena, but came up short, falling to Midland (Neb.) University 80-74.<\/p>\n

The loss drops the Jimmies’ overall record to 14-9 and 11-9 in the GPAC, while Midland also is 14-9 and 11-9 in the conference. It was the final regular-season home game for seniors Correy Hickman<\/a> (SR\/Morris, MN), Mackensi Higlin<\/a> (SR\/Mandan, ND), and Emma Stoehr<\/a> (SR\/Woodbury, MN).<\/p>\n

UJ trailed 21-17 after the first quarter, but managed only four points in the second, falling behind 45-21 at the half.<\/p>\n

Jamestown made just one of 15 field goal attempts in the second quarter while Midland sank eight of 14. The Jimmies went the final 7:41 of the half without a basket and 4:43 without a point.<\/p>\n

Midland took its largest lead of 29 points after a pair of Katy Gathje free throws with 2:23 in the third. Three-pointers by Anni Stier<\/a> (SO\/Rugby, ND) and Macy Savela<\/a> (SO\/Mountain Iron, MN) along with a pair of buckets by Kia Tower<\/a> (SO\/Bigfork, MN) helped UJ close the quarter on a 10-0 run.<\/p>\n

The Warriors went back on top by 24 at the 8:53 mark of the fourth, but Jamestown responded with the next 15 points to cut the lead to single digits.<\/p>\n

Kennedy Darner put Midland in front by a dozen with a three-pointer at the 4:09 mark. Tower made a basket, then Emma Stoehr<\/a> followed with a three-pointer, and a Tower three-point play made things interesting at 71-67 with 2:45 left.<\/p>\n

Jamestown was unable to get any closer than four the rest of the way, and the Warriors scored seven of their final nine points at the foul line to close out the win.<\/p>\n

Tower led UJ with 14 points, followed by Noelle Josephson<\/a> (JR\/Ramsey, MN) with 13. Audrey Rodakowski<\/a> (FR\/Dickinson, ND) was also in double figures with 10. Savela came off the bench to add 13. Josephson pulled down nine rebounds and dished out four assists along with Tower.<\/p>\n

Makenna Sullivan led Midland with 24 points and 12 rebounds. Lexis Haase also recorded a double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds. Emma Shepard was also in double figures with 10.<\/p>\n

The Jimmies are on the road against Northwestern (Iowa) Wednesday at 6 p.m.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
