DES MOINES,
Iowa -- Grand View College used a 15-2 run midway through the
first half to build a double-digit lead and went on to defeat
Mount Mercy College, 61-49, in Midwest Collegiate Conference women's
basketball Monday at Charles S. Johnson Wellness Center.
The loss ended
Mount Mercy's season-high four-game winning streak and kept the
Mustangs (8-14, 5-4 MCC) in a fourth-place tie with Waldorf College
(13-9, 5-4 MCC) in the MCC. A win would have moved Mount Mercy
into third place alongside Grand View (13-10, 7-2 MCC).
Senior forward
Chelsie Patik and freshman guard Heather Bachman led the Mustangs
in scoring with 11 and 10 points, respectively. Junior guard Kelli
Dabroski hauled down nine rebounds, junior guard Jessie Dirks
grabbed four steals, and junior forward Katie Manning added eight
points and six boards.
Angie Creighton
led four Vikings in double figures with 14 points. She also tallied
10 rebounds, five assists, five steals, and three blocked shots.
Alicia Onnen, Molly Gunsaulus, and Bailey Schechinger chipped
in 11 points apiece.
Mount Mercy's
