The Dordt Defender women's basketball team ran its winning streak to 11 with a 77-58 win over the College of Saint Mary Flames on Saturday afternoon, February 10 in Sioux Center, Iowa.
The Defenders took the lead for good on a

The Defenders led 25-14 at the quarter break and then added a 25-11 second quarter to lead 50-25 at halftime. An 8-0 run in the period followed by another 7-0 run helped extend the Dordt advantage.
