Lopers Use Big Second Half to Keep Streak Alive

Kearney, NE — The University of Nebraska at Kearney women's basketball team used a 20-5 run over the first eight and a half minutes of the second half to down Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference opponent Adams State, 71-55, Saturday night in the Health and Sports Center.

With the win, the 6^th-ranked Lopers ran their home-court-winning streak to 79 games. The streak dates back to 1995 and is the longest current home-court-winning streak in the nation.

UNK improved their record to 14-0 and 7-0 in the RMAC. Adams State fell to 4-7 and 1-6 in the league.

The Lopers started off slowly, as Adams State took a 9-4 lead with 13:45 left in the first half. UNK then took the lead with 10:57 left in the first half and never gave up the lead again. The Lopers, however, couldn't put the Grizzlies away as they led by just four at halftime 30-26.

UNK had three players in double figures as senior Becky Schroeder (Belden) and sophomore Allison Kruger (Paulina, Iowa), each tallied 15 and junior Beth Swift (LeMars, Iowa) had 14.

Junior Mamissa Mwenentanda (Lubumbashi, Congo) did not play in the game due to personal reasons.

The Grizzlies played the rebound game well in the first half, out-boarding the Lopers 26-9, including 10 offensive rebounds. However, the Grizzlies had problems controlling the ball, as they turned the ball over 32 times in the game.

Adams State was led by Shannon Meece, who had 20 points, and Sarah Poole, who had 14.

The Lopers will continue home Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference play next weekend, as they host Colorado Christian Friday night and Regis Saturday night. Both games start at 6 p.m. in the Health and Sports Center.
