Third Quarter Run Propels Duhawks to Third Straight

DUBUQUE, Iowa (Duhawks.com) - After trailing by nine at halftime, the Loras women's basketball team responded in a big way on Monday, out-scoring Coe by 11 in the second half to the tune of a 65-63 win. With their third straight win, the Duhawks improved to 9-7 overall and 3-4 in the Iowa Conference. The Duhawks were led by senior Lori Obendorf with 15 points and junior Cyerra Hutchins, who added 12 points.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
First Quarter
  • The Kohawks jumped out to an early 13-6 lead after a 9-2 run as a result of three Loras turnovers. 
  • A 3-pointer from junior Miranda Chapman with two seconds remaining in pulled the Duhawks to within four points at 13-9 to end the quarter. 

Second Quarter
  • Senior Erin Weaver cut Coe's lead to three after driving the open lane and delivering her shot up and off the glass 6:17 remaining in the quarter.
  • The Kohawks stretched their lead to 11 after an 8-0 Kohawk run with 2:07 to play. Senior Terese McMahon ended the drought with a layup at the 1:47 mark of the second quarter.
  • Junior Lauren Stanich's three with 10 seconds to play was short-lived as Coe's Mickey Hansche delivered on a three at the buzzer, sending the Kohawks to the locker room leading 36-27.

Third Quarter
  • After the break, the Duhawks went on an 11-2 run with eight points coming from Hutchins, pulling Loras to within four with under four minutes remaining in the quarter.
  • The third quarter saw Loras capitalize on four Kohawk turnovers and a 7-of-14 shooting effort.

Fourth Quarter
  • Junior Addie Oberman gave the Duhawks their first lead of the half with a 3-pointer for her first points of the evening.
  • Obendorf delivered for Loras, converting a McMahon steal into an and-1 opportunity. The senior converted the three-point play to tie the game at 56 with 3:31 remaining in regulation
  • Hutchins went on another run of her own for the Duhawks, this time with a jumper and two free-throws, giving Loras the 65-60 advantage with ten seconds on the clock.
  • Coe's Jenna Lehman connected on a 3-pointer with two seconds to play, cutting the Duhawk lead to 65-63, but that would be as close as the visitors would come as Loras held on for the win.

FRIEDMAN GROUP PLAYER OF THE GAME
Cyerra Hutchins | The Cedar Rapids native notched 12 points and came up at clutch at crucial times for Loras, first scoring eight-straight points in the third quarter to put the Duhawks back in the game.
