The Wolves kept the game highly competitive to start, with the score being 23-17 at the end of the first quarter. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As the game went on though, the Seawolves proved why they are the sixth ranked team nationally. The Wolves surrendered a 23-9 second quarter, and were not able to get any momentum after, suffering a 85-53 loss. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Turnovers were a key issue in the game, as the Wolves coughed up the ball 24 times. Juniors Savannah Heugly&#8211;a forward and guard Kennedy Corrigan lead the team in points, with both topping double figures scoring 14 and 11. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The second game of the week was also played on the road, this time against the University of Alaska-Fairbanks. Coming into the game, the Nanooks had struggled recently against conference opponents, losing all games against GNAC opponents. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Wolves made sure that streak continued on Jan. 13, and picked up their second road win in the process. The play on the defensive end contributed a large part to the win, as the Wolves were able to grab 12 steals and hold Alaska-Fairbanks to 31.1 percent shooting. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Heugly was once again a key contributor. The junior scored 20 points, had 13 rebounds and stole the ball four times in the victory. Shelby Snook came in the game as a substitute to score 18 points, helping the team out score Fairbank\u2019s bench by 16.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The game was in the paws of the Wolves for a large portion of the 74-54 victory. The Wolfpack hope to make something of a run in the next three games, all at home. Next on tab are the Montana State Billings Yellowjackets in a red out game. Tipoff is set for 5:15 p.m. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Contact the author at mswaim16@mail.wou.edu<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Morgan Swaim | Freelance writer The women&#8217;s basketball team traveled up to Alaska to play two conferences games on Jan. 11 &amp; 13, securing their second road win of the season in the process. \u00a0 On Thursday, the 11, the Wolves were up against the conference leading Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves.
