Jimmie Women Enjoy Trip to Sioux City, IA

The Jamestown College Women's Basketball team made a Halloween trip to Sioux City, IA to play in the Morningside Classic, which pitted some of the top teams from the DAC and GPAC. The Jimmies had their first opportunity to play in the Tyson Center, which has been home to the National Tournament for the past ten years. The Jimmies opened up on Halloween day against the #2 ranked team in the country, Hastings College. The #9 Jimmies battled for 40 minutes, but just came up short, losing 55-50.

On day two, the Jimmies battled Briar Cliff, IA. Briar Cliff has been noted to be a team in the GPAC that has the potential to be a very dangerous team, and they showed why. For the first 18 minutes of the game, the Jimmies controlled both ends of the court and opened a 17 point lead. Late in the half, the Jimmies had to sit 3 regulars due to foul trouble and this allowed the Chargers to close the gap to 6 points at halftime. The Jimmies opened the second half with 5 quick points to push the lead back to double digits, but once again the Chargers continued to battle back and eventually took the lead, but the Jimmies re-grouped and finished the game strong with some timely shots and free throws.
