Box Score

Dec. 11, 2017 – Held to a season-low point total, the North Central College women's basketball team struggled from three-point range on Monday in a 68-44 loss at the hands of the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point inside Gregory Arena.

In a contest in which they never led, North Central fell behind 10-4 early and never regained composure, as the Pointers took a 23-13 lead into the second quarter and led by double-digits the remainder of the game.

North Central shot a combined 1-for-19 from three-point range over the course of the first three quarters and at one point in the fourth quarter were just 1-of-23 from beyond the arc.  Aside from three-point range, the Cardinals shot 54 percent from the field, but were doomed by the lack of three-point efficiency, finishing the game shooting a season-low 11 percent.

UW-Stevens Point finished the contest shooting 39 percent from the field, but held a drastic 55-25 rebounding advantage, including a 21-4 margin on the offensive glass.
