Offensive Struggles Doom Cards in Loss to MSU-Denver

The William Jewell women's basketball team dropped a 59-35 contest to Metropolitan State-Denver to close the Holiday Inn Cherry Creek Classic on Saturday evening in Denver, Colo. With the loss, the Cardinals fall to 2-4 on the season. 

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • 1Q: After grabbing a 7-3 lead in the first four minutes of the contest Jewell saw the Roadrunners go on a 12-0 run to take a 16-7 advantage with just over two minutes to play in the opening quarter. Adriana Rodriguez and Hayden Butler each hit one of two free throws to pull the Cardinals within 16-9 after the first ten minutes. 
  • 2Q: Jewell used a 7-0 run late in the second quarter to pull within four of MSU-Denver at 23-19 after a jump shot from Sydney Offield. The Roadrunners responded with a 7-2 run of their own to close the half leading 30-21. 
  • 3Q: Neither team could get in a rhythm in the third quarter as better than three minutes combined passed without a point scored. A layup from Rodriguez with 4:46 remaining in the frame pulled Jewell back within four at 33-29 only to see MSUD close the quarter on a 12-4 run. 
  • 4Q: The Cards managed just two points in the fourth quarter as the Roadrunners built their lead to the final of 59-35. 

INSIDE THE BOXSCORE
  • Both teams struggled on the offensive end as Jewell shot just 24 percent from the floor while MSU-Denver hit just 32.6 percent of their shots. 
  • The Roadrunners took advantage of 28 fouls committed by the Cardinals by hitting 27-33 free throws.  

TURNING POINT
  • A three point shot from MSU-Denver's Mikala Gordon with 1:02 remaining in the third quarter kick started the run that put the game out of reach for the Cardinals. 

LEADERS OF THE FLIGHT
  • Katie Finn hit 3-of-6 three point shots and was the only Jewell player in double figures with 11 points. 
  • Offield was tops for the Cardinals with seven rebounds. 
  • Ashley Pitrof grabbed a career-high four steals in just 13 minutes of play. 

UP NEXT
The Cardinals return home next weekend to open Great Lakes Valley Conference play as they host Maryville on Thursday evening at 5:30 p.m. followed by a match up with Quincy on Saturday afternoon.
