Jills Can't Catch Cougars

Ashland, WI -
 
A slow offensive start, early foul trouble and turnovers resulted in the Northland College LumberJills dropping their conference game vs. Minnesota Morris 90-54.

The Cougars jumped on the LumberJills early and NC's best defender Bryza Pizano was sidelined early in the first quarter with two fouls. Morris led after one quarter 23-7.  The LumberJills nearly matched the Cougars in scoring in the second quarter (22-16) but Morris still led 45-23 at half.

Foul issues continued to mount in the second half and Pizano fouled out early in the third quarter. NC's defensive performance suffered with her on the sidelines and the Cougars continued to roll to a 90-54 win. Ashton Meadows and Emily Nielsen led the LumberJills with 15 and 11 points respectively.

The Jills will be back on the court 1/16 in Duluth, MN. The game is set for a 5:30pm start.

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.
