#23 Rocky Women’s Basketball Remains Perfect at Home; Knocks off #13 Montana Tech 64-50

BILLINGS, Mont.- Rocky Women's Basketball turned in another strong defensive effort at home, improving to 10-0 in the Fortin Education Center following a 64-50 win over No. 13-ranked Montana Tech.   

The Rocky defense held the Orediggers to just 21.2% shooting from the field and 21.9% from three, forcing 14 turnovers en route to a commanding home victory. 

How It Happened
Both teams traded baskets to open the contest, as a Brenna Linse layup at the 4:47 mark tied the game at 9-9. Rocky controlled the final four minutes of the first quarter, ending the period on a 10-1 run, capped off by a Tailyn Black three-pointer at the horn to give the Battlin' Bears a 19-10 lead. 

Rocky's defense dictated the contest to open the second quarter, holding Montana Tech without a field goal for nearly five minutes to extend a 29-14 lead. Paige Wasson would sink an and-one layup before the half ended to keep a 15-point lead at halftime. 

The Battlin' Bear momentum continued following the halftime break, jumping out to a 13-2 run over the opening five minutes of the half, extending a lead as large as 26 points, eventually leading to a 23-point lead entering the fourth quarter.
