The Foresters gave
NAIA 14th-ranked University of St. Francis all they could
handle but eventually succumbed 65-59 to the Cougars. HC came out
strong on the defensive end and owned a 23-14 lead with seven
minutes to play, but the Cougars finished out the half with a 14-4
run to take a one-point lead at the break at 28-27. In the second
half, the Cougars stretched their lead to 12 on an old-fashion
three-point play by Chivonn Keppeler, and were still up 51-41 with
8:51 on the clock. Following a Huntington timeout, the Foresters
went on a 9-1 run to pull within two at 52-50 with just under six
minutes to play. Another layup by Keppeler and a trey by Megan
Dossen ended Huntington’s threat and Cassie Kline went 6- 6 from the
line down the stretch to seal the win for the Cougars. Dossen took
game-high honors with 18 points for St. Francis. For the Foresters,
Jessica Ramey finished with 17 points and eight rebounds and Janna
Knisely added 15. The loss
drops the women to 8-13 overall and 3-7 in the MCC.
