Jimmies stop slide, win 2 in a row.




JC put a stop to their 3 game losing streak with two wins over the weekend. The Jimmies avenged an earlier loss to Dakota State by beating the Trojans 78-67. In a game in which Dakota State came out on fire and led 19-10 early, the Jimmies kept their composure and slowly chipped away and eventually pulled ahead at halftime. A 24-7 run mid-way through the second half sealed the Jimmies win.


The depth of the Jimmies eventually got to Dakota State. Dakota Anderson kept the Jimmies in the game in the first half by scoring 12 points. Allison Epping led the Jimmies with 17 points off the bench. Mindy Clark and Jackie Hust (pictured) also provided valuable minutes. Mara Paulson and Kellie Schuneman also scored double digit points for the Jimmies.


Less then 24 hours later, the Jimmies kept things rolling with a huge 84-45 win over Mayville State. The Jimmies surged to a 12-0 lead and never looked back. The Jimmies built their lead to 52-27 at half and eventually built a 45 point cushion. Kellie Schuneman (pictured) had a strong start and finished with 20 points, going 8-9 from the field, 2-2- from the 3 point line, and 2-2 from the free throw line. Kellie also added 6 assists and no turnovers. Heidi Fiechtner continued her strong play this season as she finished with a game high of 21 points and 8 rebounds. Mara Paulson wrapped up a strong weekend with 11 points.


The Jimmies are currently 16-7 and are preparing for a big game verse Minot State on Wednesday.
