Menomonie, WI - The Martin Luther College women's basketball team fell into a hole from the opening tip in its non conference matchup with UW-Stout and MLC was never able to capture momentum during the game and lost
106-46 on Tuesday.
The Blue Devils would never trail in the game and continued its success early in the season with a third consecutive win against UMAC opponents, with a 107-54 win over Bethany and a 75-57 victory over UW-Superior.
UW-Stout found a lot of their rhythm from deep, going 19-of-38 (50 percent) from beyond the arc. The Blue Devils were also very active on defense and forced 25 turnovers to contribute to their double-digit win.
Jordyn Heckendorf would lead MLC with 12 points on 5-of-12 shooting, while
Lauren Paulsen scored nine points.
Anna Kieselhorst and
Alana Sulzle continued to show improvement as well in the MLC backcourt.
MLC (1-5) will now face Waldorf for their second home game of the season on Friday, December 1. The Knights defeated the Warriors in back-to-back contests last season in November and hope to collect another win over the NAIA school this season. Tip off is at 7 p.m. in the LSC gymnasium.
