Boxscore and Play-by-Play

MONMOUTH, Ore. - Lindsay Brady and Jennifer Williams each scored a game-high 15 points to lead the Northwest Nazarene women's basketball team to a 69-47 win at Western Oregon University on Thursday night in Monmouth.

 

The Crusaders, ranked seventh in this week's NCAA West Region Poll and battling for a post-season bid, are now 16-8 overall and 9-4 in conference play.  Western Oregon falls to 8-16 overall and 3-10 in league action.

 

Brady and Williams led four players into double-figures as Brittney Roggenkamp added 13 and Mallory Whipple scored 11, dishing a game-high six assists.

 

GNAC Player-of-the-Week Kristin Hein led all players with 12 rebounds, scored nine, and tied the GNAC consecutive three pointers made record with nine, hitting her first attempt from the arc before missing her next two.  Hein had converted all five of her triples on Saturday night against UAA and had buried her last three against Alaska Fairbanks one week ago.

 

Shayla Corder led the Wolves with 14 and Katie Torland finished with the game's only double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds.
