Vikings Top Jills at Home

Ashland, WI -
 
The Northland LumberJills fell to the Bethany Lutheran Vikings on Saturday 83-52. The LumberJills came out to a better offensive start than in their previous few games but didn't have an answer for the early screen and roll action from the Vikings and fell, bending 24-11 after one quarter. Foul trouble mounted in the second quarter and Hanna Geistfeld had her way inside for Bethany Lutheran who went into halftime up 45-24.

Northland quickly stole the momentum in the third quarter and brought the lead down to 10 points two different times, at 49-39 and again at 51-41. Northland outplayed Bethany Lutheran in the third quarter outscoring them 20-18 but the Vikings had too much size, depth, and speed for the LumberJills to get back in the game after getting within ten. After three quarters the Vikings led 72-44 and their dominance inside continued in the fourth quarter as the LumberJills ran out of steam.

Geistfeld led the Vikings with 21 points and 9 rebounds and Haley Sandin chipped in 18.  Emily Wagner led Northland with 13 points and 6 rebounds and Lindsay Bressette added 12.  

Northland heads into winter break and will resume their conference schedule 1/2 at home.

Northland College is an NCAA Division III institution located in Ashland, WI. The LumberJacks and LumberJills sponsor 14 varsity sports and compete in the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference and the Northern Collegiate Hockey Association.Â
