Vikings Fall on the Road
January 17, 2007
Hastings, Nebraska ~
The Dana College Women’s Basketball team traveled to
Hastings College on Wednesday evening. The defending national champions
were not gracious hosts as they defeated the Vikings 71-34
Hastings opened the game on a 10-5
run. The Broncos took advantage of a terrible shooting night by the
Vikings. Dana would be able to pull within three points as Allie
Lamb (SO, North English, IA) hit a jumper in the lane at the 13:14
mark in the first half. Dana would get no closer as the hosts went on a
25-11 spurt. Megan Gerdes (FR, Treynor, IA) stopped the run by
draining a three-pointer. The Broncos would maintain their momentum as
the half ended and went into the locker room with a 41-20 lead.
The Vikings shooting woes continued
into the second half as stretched their lead to 33 points midway through
the half. The Vikings shot only 26.3-percent in the second half and
turned the ball over 14 times. Those two factors are not the recipe for
success.
Jillian Bryant
(FR, McCook, NE) was the lone Viking in double digits
with ten points. Amy Nichol (JR, Des Moines, IA) was help to
five points. Amanda Bryant (SO, Treynor, IA) pulled down a game
high four rebounds for Dana.
The loss drops Dana to 9-10 overall
and 2-8 in GPAC play. The schedule does not get easier for the Vikings
as Morningside College comes to Blair on Saturday. The reserve game is
scheduled to tip-off at 10:00am and the varsity will play at 2:00pm.
