January 12, 2007
Nampa, ID (January 11) – Some key shooting in the
final seconds gave Northwest Nazarene just the edge they needed to pull
out a win over Saint Martin’s 52-49, Thursday in a Great Northwest
Athletic Conference game.
With the score tied 47-47, NNU’s Brittney Roggenkamp
put the Crusaders up by three on a made shot and free throw. The Saints
pulled back within one on a jumper by Jessi Reome with 37 seconds left
but the Crusaders regained the three point advantage on two made free
throws by Janee Olds. Saint Martin’s had a chance to tie, but missed the
three point attempt as time expired.
Breanne Lindquist led the Saints with nine points
and Jessi Reome had eight. Jamey Gelhar, who went into Thursday’s game
ranked number one nationally in free throw percentage, had eight points
of her own and went 6-7 from the line.
The Crusaders were led by Lindsay Brady with 11
points while Roggenkamp finished with ten. Danielle Dwello posted a
double-double with ten points and 12 rebounds.
The Saints out shot the Crusaders 35.3 percent to
24.2 percent from the field but were forced into 17 turnovers. The
Crusaders also took control of the boards pulling down 48 rebounds to
the Saints’ 36.
Saint Martin’s will head to Seattle on Saturday to
take on Seattle Pacific University.
