On the road for their second conference contest, the Lady Macks (3-3, 2-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) used energetic, aggressive defense to fuel a late first half run against the young and talented Blackhawks (6-2, 1-2 WCC), who struggled to effectively run their offense against the McDonell press.
After the break, the Lady Macks kept their foot on the gas, leading to their highest offensive output of the season and a perfect early start to conference play.
WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Sophomore guard Claire Ruf was a standout on both ends of the floor as she poured in a career-high 24 points, while fellow sophomore guard/forward Emily Hartman provided a huge spark off the bench - tallying a career-high of her own with 13 - and sophomore guard Anne Siegenthaler,despite battling foul trouble, was the third Lady Macks player in double figures, scoring 10.
