Jamestown College won their last two regular season games to finish the regular season at 19-8 and 9-5 in the DAC. They have also won 5 of their last 6 games as they head into post season play. On Wednesday, in an entertaining match-up, the Jimmies fell behind early to #5 Black Hills State and trailed 31-24 at half. The Jimmies began the second half on a 12-0 run behind Amanda Rantapaa's four 3 pointers (pictured). Amanda finished the game 4 of 6 from behind the stripe and 14 points. Mara Paulson also sparked the Jimmies with her inside/outside game. Mara was 3-3 from the 3 point line and led the Jimmies with 20 points and 10 rebounds. The lead would change hands throughout the second half, but the Jimmies finished off possessions on the defensive end and knocked down free throws, 17-24 for the game.
Senior Heidi Fiechtner also scored 15 points and added 9 rebounds and sophomore point guard Kellie Schuneman finished with 10 points, including 6-6 from the free throw line.
After a emotional win on Wednesday, the Jimmies returned to action against SD Mines on Thursday. The Jimmies played a solid first half and led 36-20 at halftime, but Mines turned the table in the second half and eventually cut the lead to 1 point. The Jimmies had trouble finishing off shots and scoring the second half, but fortunately went 16-22 from the foul line. JC was led in scoring by Kellie Schuneman with 18. Ali Edwards added 13 and Mara Paulson chipped in 10.
The Jimmies open play-off action on Sunday as the number 3 seed. They take on sixth seeded Minot State.
