In a game that featured big runs by both the Jimmies and Beavers, the Jimmies had the last run that ended up giving JC a big enough cushion to hold on for 1 78-71 victory. Jamestown College raced out to a 21-6 advantage eight minutes into the game, but Minot State answered back with their own run to tie the game 34-34 at halftime. The Beavers opened the second half on a 11-3 run to open a 45-37 lead before Jamestown started to solve Minot's zone defense.
A key to the Jimmie victory was once again the play of their bench. Nicole Ahlers knocked down 3 huge three pointers, the last coming with a 1:30 remaining pushing the Jimmie lead to 73-63. Mindy Clark (pictured), Stacey Nygaard, and Amanda Rantapaa each hit a 3 of their own to help propel the Jimmies. The Jimmies were just 3-9 in the first half from the three point line, but were 6-14 in the second half. JC was also very solid from the free throw line converting 25-33, 75%.
Ali Edwards continuted her strong play against Minot State as she lead the Jimmies with 17 points. Earlier in the season Ali scored a game high of 22 against the Beaves. Mindy Clark continued her strong play as of late and added 10 points off the bench. Three Jimmies each added 9 points; Mara Paulson (pictured), Heidi Fiecthner, and Nicole Ahlers.
Minot was lead by All-American Lashay Bagsby, 23 points and point guard Sam Medcalf with 20. For more on the game, visit: http://www.jamestownsun.com/articles/index.cfm?id=80211§ion=sports
