Second Quarter Run Enables Raiders to Sprint Past Midland

Hali Anderson, Maren Nerem, and Maddie Jones etch new scoring career-highs

FREMONT, Neb. – The No. 25-ranked Northwestern College women's basketball team (7-0, 3-0 GPAC) won their seventh-straight game heading into the Thanksgiving holiday with a 107-71 victory over the Midland Warriors (2-5, 0-3 GPAC in their third-straight game in the state of Nebraska Tuesday night. Three Red Raiders score new career-highs, while Northwestern scores the most points in a game since January 2021.
Midland scored the first points of the night with a 3-pointer, but after that it was all Northwestern. Hali Anderson (So., Saint Ansgar, Iowa) hit a three to tie the game, en route to her career-high night, and the Red Raiders never looked back. The game was effectively put out of reach with a 20-4 run to end the first half, starting with five minutes left in the second quarter. At the time, Northwestern led 33-30 but that would explode to a 51-34 halftime advantage.

The second half began with a steal from Maddie Jones (Sr., Twin Lakes, Iowa) and would lead to a pair of free throws. Later in the quarter, a 3-pointer from Payton Beckman (Fr., Panora, Iowa) would give the Raiders their largest lead of the game, up to that point, at 25, leading 78-53. The third quarter would see both teams score the most points of any quarter tonight, as the Raiders put up 30 points and Midland had 25 points.

Freshman Kylie Foss (Brandon, S.D.) lit up the scoresheet in the second half. She scored her first-career collegiate points with 4:33 remaining in the third quarter. Additionally, she tallied new early career-highs in rebounds (7) and assists (4).

The Raiders flexed their muscles in the final quarter, outscoring the Warriors 26-12 to push past the 100-point mark for the first time this season. By the end of the game, the Raiders had notched four blocked shots, hitting the mark for the third time this season and being the second-highest of the year. Molly Schany (Jr., Emmetsburg, Iowa) dominated the paint with her game-high three blocks and 23 points, as the Raiders notched 62 points in the paint on the night.
