Yellowjackets Nipped by V-Hawks 64-59

SUPERIOR, Wis. – Tuesday the Yellowjacket women's basketball team played host to the V-Hawks of Viterbo University. Following a win over Macalester last week, the 'Jackets looked to claim two in a row while the V-Hawks aimed to get back in the win column after a loss last time out.
 
Viterbo maintained the offensive edge for most of the game, and despite the 'Jackets being within four in the third quarter, the V-Hawks maintained the lead and won by five at 64-59.
 
Game Notes
  • Eight consecutive points forced the Yellowjackets to take an early timeout just 1:13 into the game. From there, Megan Schafer (Grantsburg, Wis./Grantsburg) and Hope Carlson (Duluth, Minn./Proctor) garnered points for Superior, while MyKenzie Leccia (Somerset, Wis./Somerset) and Elsa Olson (Cottage Grove, Minn./Park) hit back-to-back shots beyond the arc to come within four at 18-14.
  • Olson logged seven-straight points before Maddie Reott (Stoughton, Wis./Stoughton) hit a jumper inside the paint to even things up at 20.
  • Kylee Hewitt (Hurley, Wis./) entered the scoring before Reott sent a feed to Leccia for a trey, giving Superior a 25-24 lead. The V-Hawks turned things back on, and at the end of the second quarter, they led by six at 36-30.
  • Both teams traded points in the third, but Viterbo maintained a seven-point edge heading into the final stretch at 52-45.
  • Schafer nailed a layup inside the paint before Carlson drew a foul and made both from the charity stripe. Hewitt made a jumper to bring Superior within six at 57-51, but the V-Hawks extended their lead by as many as 12, taking the win at 64-59.
  • Both Schafer and Olson had 13 points, leading the offensive efforts. Defensively Charlotte Ferstl (Plain, Wis./River Valley) grabbed nine rebounds, while Carlson and Colleen Claude (Centuria, Wis./Homeschool) had five boards apiece.
  • UWS shot 37.5 from both three point land and from the field.
 
Superior is back in action Saturday as they host UW-Stout in non-conference action. The opening tipoff is slated for 1 p.m. inside the Mertz.
