Hot Streak Comes to an Abrupt End for WolfPack Women's Basketball Team

The Madison College women's basketball team was cruising, three games into the season they were unbeaten, but that came to a more than convincing end on Tuesday night. Visiting Sauk Valley Community College, the WolfPack was beaten up by the unblemished Skyhawks 80-44.

In the opening half the 'Pack managed to knock down just 6-of-31 total field goal attempts (19.4%). Meanwhile, Sauk Valley could not be stopped. The Skyhawks hit 16-of-34 shots in the first, good for a 47.1% mark, including 6-of-15 from beyond the arc (40%). Madison College trailed 41-22 entering halftime.

The second half was almost a carbon copy of the first. The WolfPack hit 9-of-36 field goal attempts (25%), while the Skyhawks made 15-of-30 (50%). Madison College was outscored 39-22 after the halftime break.

Kinsey Mace and Thresia Elskamp led what little offense the WolfPack was able to muster up. Elskamp was the team's leading scorer with 14 points on 5-of-18 shooting, while Mace chipped in 13 points by hitting 5-of-13 shots.

Madison College (3-1) will try to bounce back when they host Highland Community College on Tuesday, November 22nd. The game is set to tip off at 5:30 PM.
