Even an inspired effort by the visiting Broncos and a slow start by Northwestern couldn’t keep the GPAC-leading Raiders from picking up an 83-64 win. Northwestern continues to sit atop the conference with a perfect 15-0 record in the GPAC and 24-1 overall.
The game started out close until a 12-0 run by the Raiders gave them a 25-11 lead, and they never looked back. They held a 42-29 cushion at the intermission. The second half saw the Raiders maintain a double-digit lead until the final buzzer.
Sophomore Kendra De Jong dropped 24 points and added nine boards to lead the Raiders in both categories. Senior Becca Hurley kept pace by netting 20 of her own. Junior Val Kleinjan went 3-5 from behind the arc to score 11 points. Senior Allison Hulst provided a spark off the bench with her 10 points. Freshman Mackenzie Small dished out four assists on the afternoon.
