No. 20 Rocky Women’s Basketball Defeats Montana Tech 60-48

A hard fought win improves the Battlin' Bears' home winning streak to 11 games.

BILLINGS, Mont.- After trailing for most of the game, No. 20 ranked Rocky Women's Basketball found a way to win Thursday evening, defeating Montana Tech 60-48 at home.

Montana Tech found their advantage in the first half through rebounding, grabbing five offensive rebounds and turning those into six second chance points, which was enough for the Orediggers to hold onto a one point lead going into halftime.

The third quarter was more of the same, as both teams traded buckets while the Orediggers held on to the slight edge, leading by two points going into the fourth quarter.

It was all Battlin' Bears from then on however, as Rocky began the quarter on a 12-0 run and proceeded to hold the Orediggers to only three points for the length of the fourth quarter as the Battlin' Bears rallied to take a 12-point victory in a game that Rocky only led for 42 seconds of game time before the fourth quarter.

The Battlin' Bears were led by 12 points, four assists, and two steals from Kloie Thatcher, four points, four rebounds, four assists, and four steals from Ky Buell, and 11 points, seven rebounds, and three blocks for Dominique Stephens. Gracee Lekvold and Mackenzie Dethman also pulled in seven rebounds.

The Orediggers were led by 14 points and nine rebounds from Tavia Rooney, while Dani Urick finished with 10 points and two steals.

The Battlin' Bears (14-5, 6-1 conf.) will be home again on Saturday, January 21st as they host MSU-Northern at 2:00pm in the Fortin Education Center.
