Bulldogs Bounce Mavericks, 78-64
Feb 22, 2007 | Women's Basketball
DULUTH, Minn. -- The University of Nebraska-Omaha women's basketball team once again had trouble getting shots to fall, resulting in a 78-64 North Central Conference loss to Minnesota Duluth Thursday night at Romano Gym.
UNO falls to 15-10 on the year, 3-8 in conference play. UMD improves to 14-12, 5-6.
Five points by senior Ashley Freerksen gave the Mavericks a three-point lead a minute and a half into the game, but a 3-pointer by Justine Axtell tied it up, 5-5. A layup by Lacey Geitzenauer would give UNO a 12-10 lead a couple minutes later. But the Bulldogs would immediately tie the score again, then take the lead, never to surrender it.
The Mavericks shot only 34.5 percent on the night, and 7-of-22 (31.8 percent) from 3-point range. Senior Karen Thies led the team with 18 points, adding five rebounds, while Freerksen finished with 17 points. Geitzenauer was the top rebounder with 10 boards. Freshman Jill Wolf set career highs with 14 points -- 10 coming at the free throw line -- plus seven rebounds and three assists.
UNO closes out the regular season at Minnesota State Saturday at 6 p.m.
