WHITEWATER, Wis. – The Gustavus women’s basketball team ended their season on Friday night, losing in the first round of the NCAA Tournament to the University of Chicago, 60-44.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The first quarter was not nice to the Gusties, who did not find a make from the field in the quarter. The Maroons used small 6-0, 5-0, and 6-0 runs to overtake the Gusties in the quarter and never looked back. Gustavus used six free throws to get on the board in the first frame, trailing 17-6 after 10 minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After an early jumper by UChicago, the Gusties went on a 10-2 run, including six points by sophomore Bella DeHaan<\/a> (Lakeville, Minn.) to cut the lead down to five. The Maroons responded right back, going on a 7-0 run to bring them their largest lead of the game to that point. Gustavus went 6-for-14 (42.9 percent) from the field in the second quarter and held the University of Chicago to a 4-for-12 (33.3 percent) clip, but could not find anything from long range, allowing the Maroons to keep their distance.\u00a0<\/p>\n Out of the locker room, the Maroons started on a 13-5 run, bringing their lead up to 20. Gustavus found four field goals in the session, including their first three of the night, but UChicago used a small 6-3 run at the end of the quarter to bring the score to 55-33 when the buzzer sounded.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Gusties held the Maroons to just five points in the fourth quarter and used a 7-2 run to put pressure back on, capped off by a three-pointer by lone senior Bobbie Bruns<\/a> (Blooming Prairie, Minn.). While Bruns has donned the black and gold, the team has a record of 98-17 and she has never played a season where the team did not make the NCAA Tournament.\u00a0<\/p>\n Sophomore Anna Goodman<\/a> (Lakeville, Minn.) led the Gusties in steals (2), rebounds (6), assists (4), and added four points to wrap up the season, while DeHaan and Peyton Stevermer<\/a> (Mankato, Minn.) both had nine points.<\/p>\n The team wraps up the season with an 18-9 record, finishing second in the MIAC, and advancing to the NCAA Tournament in a year where the team graduated its top six players, relying on their youth to continue the legacy of the program. Head coach Laurie Kelly<\/a> now sits with an all-time record of 273-96 heading into the offseason.\u00a0 Read Full Article<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
