Pioneers Lose at CMU

MNU suffered their first conference defeat in a 77-74 loss at Central Methodist on Saturday. The Pioneers started well and built a 14-point lead in the second quarter. The halftime lead was 10, but the Eagles fought back in the third quarter. A 22-10 advantage in the third gave CMU a 2-point lead, setting up a tight fourth. A Tanchelle Hollingsworth 3-pointer with 2 minutes left gave MNU a 3-point lead, but the Pioneers struggled to score down the stretch and CMU built a 5-point lead in the final minute. A desperation 3 at the end missed, and the Eagle survived.

Tristin Wicks shot 8-13 for a career-high 22 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 blocks. Jovana Jovovic was 8-10 for 16 points and 6 rebounds. And Hollingsworth had 11 points and 9 assists.

MNU is 10-3 (9-1 Heart). The next game is a national championship rematch and battle for 1st place as MNU heads to Baldwin City to take on Baker (11-3, 9-1) on Monday at 5:30.
