MSU-Northern End Jimmies 10 Game Win Streak


MSU-Northern used a stiffling 2-3 zone to beat JC, 58-44 and end the Jimmies 10 game win streak. The Jimmies, who beat Montana State Western a day earlier, never could get on track and could never over come Northern's 10 point half time lead. The Jimmies, who trailed 26-16 at half, made a few runs and had the lead to 4 points with a little over 6 minutes left, but could never get over the hump.
The Jimmies, who are currently 11-3, had their lowest scoring out put of the season and for the first time all season had no one in double figures. They did make a season high of 9 three's. Ali Edwards (pictured) led the Jimmies off the bench with 9 points and shared team high honors with 7 rebounds. Amanda Rantapaa and Mara Paulson each added 8 points, followed by Kellie Schuneman with 7.
The Jimmies will take on NDSU on Saturday, December 20th in an exhibition game. They begin conference play on January 9th at Mayville State.
