| Transcript | By Brad Blume Sports Information Director South Dakota School of Mines RAPID CITY --- The Mount Marty Lady Lancers had an excellent second half of play, shot lights out, and gave the South Dakota School of Mines women's basketball team its first loss of the season Sunday afternoon, defeating the Hardrockers, 86-68, at Goodell Gymnasium in Rapid City. It was a battle of NAIA Top 25 teams as South Dakota Mines drew a No. 16 preseason ranking while MMC reported in at No. 17. "They are a good team, " said Lady Hardrocker head coach Barb Felderman. "They are very deep. I think Black Hills State surprised them a little (Friday night) in their loss." Mount Marty fell to the Yellow Jackets, 65-60, while SD Mines won their Friday night bout over Dakota Wesleyan, 62-60. The Lancers had a very productive day on the perimeter Sunday, converting 10-21 from three-point range and ended the game with 50 percent shooting from the field. The ‘Rockers on the other hand had difficulty keeping pace and just couldn't get the ball to drop in the second half. SDM finished 9 of 22 from the field in the first half and 15-30 in the second period for a 46 percent for the game. "It just seemed like we were out of sync all weekend, " Felderman said. "We just couldn't get into a flow. It was very disappointing." The Lancers gained the advantage early in the first stanza and went into halftime with a 39-29 edge and outscored the Hardrockers, 47-39, in the second half as well. Individually, SDM senior and NAIA First Team All-American Melanie Vedei paced the ‘Rocker offense with a 21-point effort, including a 8-10 performance from the free throw line. Teammate Bethany Holyoak, sophomore, put up 15 points and freshman Stephany Bjustrom added 14 markers. Senior Amber DeWeerd led the game in rebounds, pulling down 10 of the Hardrockers' 29. "We didn't give up. Stephany, Bethany and of course Mel all played well offensively, "Felderman said. "But we couldn't get a complete player to do well both on offense and defense." Katelynn Kunz led the Lancers with 22 points, followed by Carrie Ahlers and Michelle Amundson each putting up 10 points. The Hardrockers are now 2-1 on the season and will be home again next weekend hosting the First Western Bank Lady Hardrocker Classic. |
