KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The William Jewell women's basketball team led for 76% of Thursday night's game at Rockhurst but went cold in the fourth quarter, shooting just 27% while the Hawks hit from 53% to rally for the 71-63 win. The Cardinals drop to 0-19 on the season and 0-13 in conference play.

• The Cardinals maintained their advantage in the second frame as another Thompson triple followed by a bucket from Taryn Jacobs gave Jewell their largest lead of the day at 13. Rockhurst hit a three at the buzzer to pull within eight at the intermission, 38-30.
• To open the third quarter, Jacee Peterson's put back bucket pushed the Jewell lead back to 11 but the Hawks followed with a 15-3 run to go in front 48-47. 
•  Tied at 60-all midway through the fourth quarter, turnovers plaqued the Cardinals down the stretch, committing seven giveaways in the final six minutes as Rockhurst put the game just out of reach.
