Box Score

             A game you don't see very often was played in the DeSimone Gymnasium Wednesday night. The Olivet Nazarene women's basketball team presses  for 40 minutes, shuffles players in an out like a hockey line change and averages 100.7 points per game.

            The Rangers turned the tables on the Tigers, breaking the century mark and scoring a 102-79 victory.

            UW-Parkside jumps to 7-2 overall. Olivet Nazarene, an NAIA school from the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic  Conference, fell to 9-4.

            There were also numbers you don't see very often in a basketball game. The Rangers out-rebounded the Tigers, 65-28. Olivet Nazarene forced the Rangers into 38 turnovers. Shooting percentages had the Rangers making good on 57 percent of their shots, while the Tigers connected on 26 percent.

            UW-Parkside, which has a number of solid perimeter shooters, did not attempt one shot from behind the arc. It was quite the opposite on the Tiger side, as they launched a whopping 42 shots from three-point land, nine of which found the net.

            The Rangers were never threatened in the game. The home team jumped to a 10-2 lead less than 3 minutes into the game and gradually extended the margin from there. Parkside led, 53-35, at halftime, and by as many as 28 in the second half.

            Brittany Beyer paced the Rangers in scoring with 23 points. Brittany Hogen logged a double-double with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Three others were in double figures in scoring including Jenna Endisch with 15, Kristen Ruchti with 14 and Jadee Rooney with 10.

            UW-Parkside will not return to action until Wednesday, Dec. 29, when they travel Saginaw Valley State for a 6:00 p.m. CST contest.
