ST. PAUL, Minn. - The Yellowjacket women's basketball traveled to the Twin Cities Tuesday afternoon to take on Macalester in non-conference action. This would be the Yellowjackets fifth time taking on a MIAC opponent on the season in a game that was moved up due to potential inclement weather in the forecast. The schedule change didn't affect UWS as they took the victory over the Scots 54-43.  

Game Notes:  

• The Yellowjackets took the early advantage in the game as Megan Schafer (Grantsburg, Wis./Grantsburg) scored the first five points of the contest for UWS before Charlotte Ferstl (Plain, Wis./River Valley) scored the last four of the first quarter to put the 'Jackets up 12-4 at the end of the first ten minutes. 

•  In the second quarter the 'Jackets were able to maintain their lead as they took a twelve-point lead into halftime.  

• In the third quarter, UWS was able to build their lead to 19 going into fourth off buckets from Maddie Reott (Stoughton, Wis./Stoughton), Kylee Hewitt (Hurley, Wis./), and Schafer.  

• In the fourth quoter UWS was able to get their lead to 22, but Macalester wouldn't go away quietly as they got the lead down to single digits. 

• Free throws from MyKenzie Leccia (Somerset, Wis./Somerset) and Reott were able to Scots away in the end, giving the 'Jackets their second victory of the season.  

• The Yellowjackets were led in scoring by Schafer, who put up 16 points while Leccia and Reott had eight points each.
