KIRKSVILLE, Mo. – Cassidy Clark's season-high 17 points lifted the Truman Women to their 17th victory of the season in a 65-56 win over the University of Wisconsin-Parkside on Thursday night in Pershing Arena.
 
Truman has now eclipsed last year's overall and conference win total with a record of 17-7 and 11-3 in the GLVC. UWP falls to 13-9 overall and 7-7 in the league. The Bulldogs will face #7 Lewis University on Saturday as the Flyers won their 18th straight over Quincy 68-62.
 
How It Happened:
  • UWP led 14-12 after one and had a five-point lead at 18-13 with 6:59 showing in the second quarter.
  • Courtney Strait sparked an 8-0 run with Clark scoring the final four to put the Bulldogs up 21-18.
  • Stephanie Furr tied the game at 21 and it was tied again at 23 until Sam Andrews made only her second three-pointer of the season at the top of the key with 22 seconds left to send Truman into the locker room up 26-23.
  • Three straight three-pointers, two by Rachel Steinhoff and another by Linnea Schmelzer gave Truman a 40-29 lead with 3:16 to play in the third. The Bulldogs would increase their lead to 14 points but UWP cut it to 10 to start the fourth.
  • UWP trimmed the lead to five and had possession with over five minutes to play. Stephanie Furr missed a jump but Kristin Conniff corralled the offensive rebound and gave the Rangers a second chance. Brittney Fair missed the short jumper and Ashley Hartwig grabbed the rebound.
  • Clark would score the next two for Truman to right the ship and expand the lead back to nine.
  • Parkside would claw back to six with over a minute to play but Truman's late game foul shooting sealed the victory.
