The Lady Hawks moved their record to 12-7 overall, 3-2 in conference play, with a 50-45 win over the visiting Milwaukee Area Technical College.<\/p>\n
Several times in the first half the Lady Hawks led by as many as 9 points, but Milwaukee managed to close the gap to 4 points going into half time with Harper leading 29-25.<\/p>\n
In the second half Milwaukee got as close as 2 points, trailing 37-35 at the 11:18 mark, but guard Peggie Parhas would connect on a jumper for two points and guard Anna Kirchoff would hit a 3-point shot to put the Lady Hawks up, 47-35. <\/p>\n
A persistent Milwaukee team would battle back, but the Lady Hawks held on for the victory.<\/p>\n
Peggie Parhas led Harper with 18 points and 12 rebounds, and Anna Kirchoff added 12 points and 6 rebounds.<\/p>\n
“We won’t turn down a win, but we didn’t play our best in this game,” said Head Coach Mark Smith. “We were careless with the ball and not fluid on our offense, but we gutted out the win. We have good basketball players and we’ll keep working to work our way through those moments. I’m confident we’ll do what it takes.”<\/p>\n
Next up, the Lady Hawks will host Madison Area Technical College on Saturday, January 23rd with tip off set for 1:00 PM.<\/p>\n
