NORTHEAST HAS FANTASTIC NIGHT SHOOTING IN VICTORY OVER IOWA CENTRAL

FORT DODGE, Iowa – The Northeast Community College women's basketball team headed to Fort Dodge, Iowa Wednesday night for their penultimate road trip of the regular season in what was a conference battle with Iowa Central Community College. The Hawks took the showdown by a final score of 79-58.

Northeast (19-7, 11-5 ICCAC) was firing from deep early and often in the contest as the Hawks shot 52.4% from beyond the three-point line compared to just 27.3% from the Tritons. Northeast also protected the basketball well in the ballgame as they had just 10 turnovers compared to the 22 from Iowa Central. Mia Wiederin (Norfolk, Neb.) scored a game-high 19 points while Aaliyah Jones (Rapid City, S.D.) trailed closely behind with 17 of her own.
