A cold shooting night doomed the Marshalltown Community College Women's Basketball team on Saturday, Jan. 23rdin their loss to the Southwestern Spartans in Creston.
The Tigers shot only 26 percent from the field while shooting 31 perfect from the 3-point line and 47 percent from the free-throw line. MCC only mustered 55 points in the loss and gave up 73 to the Spartans who shot 45 percent from the field, most of that coming inside the paint. MCC also had the size disadvantage in the game, giving up multiple inches, in which the Spartans continued to post up their guards throughout the game.
The Tigers got good production from their Freshman guard trio of Heeni Blakey, Waiaaria Rogers, and Carla Dorta-Perez who lead the Tigers in scoring with 14 and added 6 rebounds as well. Blakey tallied 13 points, while Rogers added 11 to the campaign.
MCC women are back in action on Wednesday, Jan. 27th when they welcome the ranked DMACC Bears to the Student Activity Center for a 5 pm tip.
