Jimmies Hold Off Minnesota Morris, 74-64


Jamestown College held off a physical, pesky Minnesota Morris team to win their 6th straight game and run their overall record to 7-2. In what turned out to be one of the Jimmies most physical games of the season and overcoming foul trouble, the Jimmies did enough positive things to win by 10 on the road. Even though the Jimmies were somewhat out of rhythm on the offensive end, they still shot 51.9% from the field. The Jimmies did however struggle from the free throw line, going 15-26 from the line. Kellie Schuneman hit her first free throw of the night to extend her streak to 38 consecutive free throws before missing her second to end the streak.

Jamestown College forced Morris into 20 turnovers and 0-5 from the three point line. Morris did shoot 46% from the field for the game. The Jimmies were also out-rebounded for the first time this season.

Mara Paulson (pictured) continued to add to her early season success by leading the Jimmies with 17 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists. Heidi Fiechtner also continued her strong play with 16 points and 5 rebounds. Kellie Schuneman rounded out the scoring by adding 11 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists.
