MADISON, Wis. – The MSOE women's basketball team dropped their first conference game of the 2025-26 season on Wednesday night, as the Raiders fell to the Edgewood University after a fourth-quarter push from the Eagles gave them the edge in a tightly contested matchup.
FINAL SCORE
MSOE RAIDERS – 56
Edgewood Eagles - 68
HOW IT HAPPENED
- MSOE (10-3, 5-1 NACC) fell behind Edgewood (8-7, 6-1 NACC) early in the first quarter, as the Eagles worked their way to an quick six-point lead over the Red and White, until back-to-back makes from Shelby Glodowski gave the Raiders their first lead with 3:20 left in the first frame. The Red and White would trade the lead with Edgewood as the first quarter turned to the second, before the Eagles established a one possession lead they refused to relinquish. Elly Kohl would break through and give the Raiders a 26-24 lead with 29 second left in the first half, but a late foul was awarded and after two Edgewood free throws, both teams went to the locker rooms deadlocked at 26-26.
- Following the halftime break, the Raiders would trail the Eagles through most of the third quarter, with the lead never reaching more than one possession. Dani Mendez would convert in the paint with 4:31 in the third to give MSOE their first lead of the second half at 37-36. The Eagles would go shot-for-shot with the Raiders, as MSOE was unable to build on their lead before Edgewood wrangled it back, with the Raiders trailing 48-45 with one quarter to play. In the fourth quarter, the Eagles defense would disrupt the MSOE offense, holding the Raiders to just 22% from the field as Edgewood was able to hand the Red and White their first conference loss of the season.
