WIEDERIN HAS 14 POINTS AS NORTHEAST GETS BACK IN THE WIN COLUMN AGAINST SOUTHWESTERN

CRESTON, Iowa – The Northeast Community College women's basketball team traveled to Creston, Iowa Thursday for a matchup with Southwestern Community College. The Hawks took the showdown by a final score of 70-59 to sweep the season series with the Spartans.
