A win is a win

A win is a win.  We headed down to Lincoln Nebraska on Saturday to play Nebraska Wesleyan.  We went into that game without starting point guard Courtney Stoelk who had to sit with a foot injury.  We started Tracy Hartwig at the point and freshman Margo Mulhbauer got her first start at the wing.  Tracy and Margo both had career highs both putting up 26 points a piece.  Former assistant coach Amy Sander had her troops ready to go and they started the game by nailing two back to back threes. Coach Smith and I were both concerned that Wesleyan was going to make some shots and make shots they did.  13-19 from behind the arc kept us battling until the end.  It was 74 -74 when we exploded on a 9-0 run.  Jacquelyn Schmidt ( Jacks) gave us some great minutes off the bench hitting a big three to spark us on our game winning run.  Jen Schumman also came off the bench to give us 15 points.

All three of our centers have been able to put points on the board.  Between Jen Schweitzberger, Jen Schumann and freshman Aubrey Hauswirth we are consistently scoring in the paint.

Last week our JV team played their first game and looked impressive in a 20+ victory over Minnesota West.

We will be back on the road on Tuesday to play one of the IIAC conference favorites Luther.  Luther is always tough.  Although they lost all conference player Anne Strate they return their entire back court.  We ended our season last year with a gut wrenching overtime lose at Luther.  We plan on turning the tables this go around.

Go Beavers!
