Jamestown College came home from its trip to Mitchell and Yankton, SD with a split. On Friday, the Jimmies played a near perfect first half while building a 47-25 halftime lead. DWU cut into the Jimmie lead throughout the second half, but the Jimmies had built a big enough cushion to hang for a 72-63 win. The Jimmies were almost perfect from the 3 point line going 7-8 in the first half and connecting on 14-16 from the free throw line. The Jimmies cooled off in the second half from the field, but stayed hot from the free throw line which led to the win. For the game, the Jimmies finished 23-29 from the line. JC was led in scoring and rebounding by Cori Doubek as she recorded her first double double on the season with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Giuli Varriano (11), Amanda Rantapaa (10), and Kellie Schuneman (10) rounded out the scoring.
The following afternoon in a battle of the unbeatens, the Jimmies faced Mt. Marty College. JC jumped out to an early 7-2 lead, but Mt. Marty took control from that point and never turned back. Mt. Marty built their lead to 18 points early in the second half before the Jimmies began chipping away. JC got it as close as 5 points, 56-51 with about 7 minutes remaining, but could get no closer. JC was once again led in scoring by Cori Doubek as she tallied 14 points and 10 rebounds. Katie O'Neill chipped in 12 points. JC struggled from the field going 0-12 from the three point line and only 11-27 from the free throw line in the loss.
