Smashing barriers, Women’s Basketball topple the Yellowjackets

Hannah Greene  | Sports Editor

Women’s Basketball played in their sixth GNAC conference game on Saturday, Jan. 11 against the Montana State University Billings Yellowjackets. 

At 2 p.m. the start of the first quarter began and the Wolves gained the lead. Not long after, the Wolves hit a roadblock and allowed the Yellowjackets to come back.

Later, the Wolves thrashed through their stoppage and scored enough points to put them back on top.

Standout player, Shariah Green, a senior forward and center, came off the bench to add rebounds and finished in double figures — making this her collegiate best in scoring.

This game proved to be a highlight for the Wolves’ defense, which has struggled in the past. 

Two other Wolves that made differences on the court were; Amber Winkler, a sophomore forward, and Keyonna Jones, a junior guard. The Wolves were able to work together as a team and therefore bring home a win.

The final quarter showed for the offense and defense putting in work for each other, and remained consistent to pull through until the end. Wolves took home the dough, and won 64-56.

Women’s Basketball leave home to challenge Saint Martin’s University on Thursday, Jan. 16.

Their next home game will be Thursday, Jan. 23 at 5:15 p.m.
