Jills Win at Home

Ashland, WI -

The Northland College LumberJills picked up a much needed conference victory against Martin Luther on Saturday, winning 76-61.

The first quarter went back and forth and ended with a 3 pointer from Lindsay Bressette to extend NC's lead to 19-14.  Northland took that strong momentum into the second quarter and pushed the ball in transition. Bressette hit another 3 at the end of the quarter to extend the LumberJills lead to 43-24.

Martin Luther came out strong in the third quarter and fouls began to add up for the LumberJills. The Knights cut the NC lead to 10 in the third quarter and were only behind by 10, 53-43.  Freshman Lindsay Bressette put the team on her back in the second half and took over when NC really needed points. Early in the 4th quarter, the Knights cut the lead to 7, 60-53. Bressette stepped up again and hit a huge 3 that put the LumberJills up 67-54 and NC rolled to the win after that.  Final score was 76-61.

Bressette lead NC with 24 points and 16 were in the second half. Ashton Meadows scored 14 of her 16 points in the first half.  Emily Witkowski lead Martin Luther with 26.  The Lumberjills host UW-Superior on Wednesday.
