Defender Women Use Strong Defense To Win 90-43 Decision

The Dordt Defenders used a stifling defense in the first half to build a substantial lead on the way to 90-43 win over the Midland Warriors in women's basketball on Saturday afternoon in Sioux Center, Iowa. 

Dordt used a 6-0 run to end the first quarter and then outscored the Warriors 22-1 in the second quarter for a 40-8 halftime lead.

The game was tied 5-5 early when Hayden Heimensen made a shot in the lane to start a seven point run. A basket by Midland cut the gap to 12-7 but McKenna Klecker's second three-point shot started the 6-0 run to end the period as Bailey Beckman beat the buzzer with a three of her own.



Midland's only point the rest of the half came at the 6:39 mark as Midland went nearly 15 minutes without scoring a field goal.  The Defenders closed the first half on a 16-0 run and went on to outscore Midland 30-9 in the third quarter. 



Leading 70-17 after three periods, the Defenders put another 20 on the board in the final period to win their third in a row and 19th in 20 starts.
