Women’s basketball suffered a pair of losses last week when they hosted conference rivals Concordia and Montana State Billings.

Late in the game against Billings, the Wolves held a 12 point lead but the Yellowjackets completed a comeback in the dying minutes. The Wolves, who had led for more than half of the game, committed 11 fouls in the final six minutes the game. The Yellowjackets were able to capitalize, picking up 16 points on free throws.

The final score was 60-64. The four point loss was the closest the Wolves had come to winning since their three point victory over Northwest Nazarene on Jan. 21.

Sophomore guard Kaylie Boschma put up 16 points against Concordia and 10 points against Montana State Billings to make it four games in a row with double-digit scoring.

With no games played over the weekend, the Wolves are having a full week off after their dropped game against the Yellowjackets. On Thursday, Feb. 16, they host the last team they defeated as Northwest Nazarene makes the trip to Monmouth.

With four games left in the season, the Wolves have a 7-16 record and are ranked 10th in the GNAC.
