HOW IT HAPPENED

The Dordt Defender women's basketball team won its third game of the week with an 86-79 win over the IU Northwest Red Hawks in a game hosted by Trinity Christian in Palos Heights, Illinois.

The Defenders used a fast start to take a 28-9 lead after the first quarter. In that period Dordt forced five turnovers and knocked down four three-point baskets. The Defenders were still up 34-19 after a Janie Schoonhoven basket but went the next four minutes without a scored and allowed a 13-0 run. Faith Van Holland's three point shot ended the dry spell with 2:12 left and Bailey Beckman and Macy Sievers added a three and a two to extend the lead to 42-32 and Van Holland added another as Dordt managed to take a 44-36 lead into the break.

Dordt's lead was never less than seven in the third quarter and the Defender led 64-55 going into the final quarter. The first six minutes of the final stanza were played with Dordt leading by anywhere from eight to 13 points but the Red Hawks made a final push. A free throw narrowed the gap to 78-71 and the lead was still seven at the 2:30 mark when IU Northwest got a layup, forced a turnover and converted a three-point basket to get within 80-76. Beckman re-established order with a basket at the 1:40 mark and Dordt's lead was never less than six the rest of the game.
