Jamestown College turns back Dordt, IA




Jamestown College completed a weekend sweep by beating Dordt, IA 65-52 a day after knocking off Northwestern, IA. With the sweep, the Jimmies improved to 4-0 on the young season.
After a slow start and falling behind 7-2, the Jimmies outscored Dordt 26-7 over the next 8 minutes to take a 28-14 lead. But Dordt answered with their own run by out scoring the Jimmies 12-3 to cut the half time lead to 31-26. Jamestown College had trouble finding a consistent offensive rhythm and had a difficult time containing Dordt's Amber Soodsma who ended up scoring 21 points.
The Jimmies used a couple of scoring runs to take a double digit lead early in the second half and never looked back. JC was led in scoring by Amanda Rantapaa's 12 points, all coming from the 3 point line. Cori Doubek (pictured) and Katie O'Neill each chipped in with 10, and Giuli Varriano and Kellie Schuneman (pictured) added 9 each.
The Jimmies return to action with an exhibition at NDSU on Monday night and then head to the road for an important weekend of games at Dakota Wesleyan and Mt. Marty.
