The Madison College women's basketball team wasn't wasting any time in the 2014-15 Jam the Gym game against the Joliet Junior College Wolves, as the WolfPack built a comfortable halftime lead of 36-24 and ran away from the Wolves for the 75-53 win. The 22 point win boosted their overall record to 12-5 and 4-2 in N4C play.
 
The 'Pack shot 39 percent from the floor in the first half and held Joliet to 25 percent shooting to build a comfortable 12 lead at the break. Madison maintained their lead after the break with a huge second half that saw them outscore the Wolves by 10 more for the lopsided win. The 'Pack only shot 32 percent from the field and Joliet improved their shooting to 27 percent from the floor, but Madison outscored Joliet from the charity stripe in the second frame, 22 to 13 while scoring more points in the paint (30 to 20).
 
Taylor Nelson was the leading scorer for the 'Pack as she dropped in 22 points, along with her team leading four assists and two steals. Nelson didn't have her most effective night from the floor as she connected on 3-of-12 shots, but her 15-for-17 shooting from the line proved to be instrumental down the stretch. Jenna Endres and Kelly Calhoun chipped in 16 and 15 points respectively. Calhoun shot 6-of-15 from the field, and Endres shot 5-of-8 from the field including 3-of-4 from beyond the arc. Megan Petty and Sydney Harms both hauled down 10 rebounds and recorded two blocks.
