Raiders Fall in Rematch with Spartans

Box Score AURORA, ILL. – The MSOE women's basketball team took on the Spartans of Aurora University on Saturday.  After a tightly contested first half, the Spartans were able to pull away in the third quarter as the Raiders fell 64-54.

RESULT

MSOE RAIDERS – 54

Aurora University - 64

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • MSOE (14-7, 8-4 NACC) and Aurora (16-6, 9-4 NACC) opened the contest trading blows with Dani Mendez getting her first of 17 points on the day down low, before the Raiders and Spartans traded the lead.  Mahima Chokshi would hit a three to take back the lead for the Raiders and Skylar Flanagan would expand the lead to five after back-to-back jumpers.  Aurora would hit a three of their own, and after a couple Spartan free throws, the first quarter came to a close with both teams all tied up at 17 apiece.
  • The Spartans and Raiders would continue to battle to close the first half, with Mendez effective down low, the Spartans continued to send her to the free throw line, where she was seven for eleven.  The Raiders would again take a five-point lead, but the Spartans would frustrate the MSOE defense, forcing six turnovers in the second quarter.  The Spartans capitalized on the change in momentum to take a four-point lead into halftime, 35-31
  • The Raiders were unable to get much going on offense coming out of the half, as they turned the ball over six times in the third quarter as well.  The Spartans outscored the Raiders 20-11, while only turning the ball over once.  The Raiders tried to claw their way back in the game, but despite outscoring the Spartans in the fourth, there was simply not enough time on the clock.
