The University of Minnesota Crookston Golden Eagles Women’s Basketball
FIRST QUARTER
Bemidji State looked poised to get off to a good start, and they did so, scoring the first two buckets and keeping the Golden Eagles scoreless for the first 2:15. That’s when Emma Miller (Sr., Albertville) began to stake her claim on this game, scoring 6 points as part of a 10-0 run for the Golden Eagles, putting them up 10-4. The Beavers were looking to crawl back, but at the under-five timeout, UMC still held a 14-9 lead. The second part of this half flipped on its head, however, as BSU began to find a rhythm. With 3:46 left, Tieryn Plasch and Evyn Eppinga sparked a big run for the Beavers, going on an 11-2 spurt to take a 22-16 lead. Rayna Klejeski (Jr., Barnum) hit a layup with 11 seconds remaining, but the Beavers took a 22-18 lead into the second quarter.
SECOND QUARTER –
Eppinga got off to a great start in the second quarter, hitting a three-pointer to put her at 12 points and the lead at 25-18. UMC needed a spark, and that came from Natalie Mikrot (Sr., Willow River), who went on an 8-0 run by herself to put the Golden Eagles up 26-25. Emma Miller added a deep one of her own to make it 29-25, capping off an 11-0 run. The Beavers had an answer, though, as Gabrielle Fineday hit back-to-back threes to put BSU up 31-29 with 4:42 remaining. Eppinga then scored the final 8 points of the half for the Beavers, but when BSU had a 36-31 lead, the Golden Eagles found an answer, ending the half on an 8-2 run to tie the game at 39 headed into the break.
