MADISON, WISC. - In a game that featured 67 combined turnovers, the Madison College women's basketball team led wire-to-wire in defeating NJCAA Division II College of Lake County by a 72-53 final Tuesday night at H. Douglas Redsten Gymnasium. Three players scored in double-figures for the WolfPack, including career-high point totals for sophomores - and former Madison East High School teammates - Mrylena Stewart and Lilly Dorman, to push their current win streak to four straight games. The 'Pack is now 6-2 all-time against the Lancers and have wins in the last four meetings.

Madison College raced out to a 10-0 lead to set the tone for the evening. Ahead by nine to start the second quarter, the home team used an 8-0 run to boost the lead to 17 before the College of Lake County (2-4) clawed back to a 30-19 halftime deficit with seven straight points to end the half. A balanced third quarter saw the Madison College maintain a double-figure advantage before slowly pulling away for the 19-point win.

Sophomore guard Aniah Williams once again paced the 'Pack with a 20-point effort, her second of the season.
