The Dordt College Defender
women's basketball team dropped a 63-47 loss to the
number nine ranked Dakota State Lady

night in Sioux Center, Iowa.
The Defenders held a slim 27-26 lead at halftime
after a jumper by Angela Carr cut the Dordt lead down to
the halftime margin with :45 left. Dordt had as much as
a three point lead twice in the first half and Dakota
State led by as many as seven points at 11-4 with 13:55
remaining in the first half.
The Lady
T's scored the first 14 points of the second half
to take a 40-27 lead and Dordt never got closer than

went to a bigger line-up to start the second half and
had success at both the offensive and defensive ends,"
siad DSU Coach Jeff Dittman. "With the tall
line-up, we got some mismatches at the offensive end we
were able to take advantage of. On the defensive
end, we were able to slow down their penetration."

Dordt to four points in the first twelve minutes of the
second half in taking the 63-47 win.
