Unfortunately for the Foresters, moral victories still go in the loss
column. Once again HC gave an MCC opponent all they could handle, but
fell 87-83 this time to the University of St. Francis. Playing from
behind most of the first half, the Foresters battled to a 44-44 tie at the
half. The second stanza was a seesaw affair with neither team able to
gain more than a four-point margin until the Cougars put together a mini run
to take their largest lead of the game at 75-67 with just over four minutes
to play. HC again battled back to within two on four separate
occasions, but two huge three pointers by USF's Shannon Pung and four
consecutive free throws from Cassie Kline and Amanda Engleking sealed the win
for the Cougars. The final statistics illustrate just how tight the
game was. USF held slim advantages over the Foresters in field goal
percentage (50.8 to 48.3%), rebounds (35-30), three pointers made (8-7) and
free throws made (19-18). The biggest difference for the Cougars was the play
of its bench. The USF reserves outscored the Foresters' second unit
37-4. St. Francis forward, Megan Dossen, took game-high honors with her 26
points. Chivonn Keppeler (18) and Nikki Lewis (14) were also in double
figures for the Cougars. Amy Berry paced HC with a team-high 25,
Jessica Ramey finished with 19, Betsey Bean added 15 and Jamie Grogg had 13.
The loss drops the women to 3-6 on the season and 0-2 in the MCC.
