MADISON, WISC. - The Madison College women's basketball team earned another Region 4 and in-state victory Tuesday night inside H. Douglas Redsten Gymnasium, defeating rival Milwaukee Area Technical College by a 72-58 final. The WolfPack tied a season-high with 11 three-pointers, and were led by freshman Serinity Metcalfe's 11th game with 20 or more points. Madison leads the all-time series with the Stormers by a 77-18 count dating back to 1977-78.

Milwaukee Area Technical College (14-12) used an early 6-0 run to take a 10-4 lead in the first quarter; however, the WolfPack responded with a 17-6 surge to close the opening ten minutes with a five-point lead. The second quarter saw the home team seize control of the game with a 14-0 burst that began with five straight points by freshman Maddi DeSmet and closed with back-to-back three-pointers from first year guard Jamera Green. She sank another long-range shot late in the half to put the WolfPack ahead 43-22 at halftime. 

In the third quarter, Madison maxed its advantage out in the third quarter when sophomore Dani Latz converted a layup to make it 59-33 late in the quarter. The WolfPack held off MATC in the fourth quarter, keeping the Stormers with a double-digit differential until settling for the 14-point win.



Metcalfe, a former Shorewood HS athlete, went for 27 points, six rebounds, five steals, and three assists. She finished 10 for 18 from the field, including a 6 for 9 effort from three-point range that marks her fourth game this season with six makes from beyond the arc. 

DeSmet finished with 15 points on 6 of 12 shooting and a 3 for 5 performance at the free throw line. The forward from Belleville, Wisconsin, also led the team with four assists, to go along with seven rebounds, two steals, and one block.

Lat, a native of Bloomer, Wisconsin, reeled in a team-leading eight rebounds and scored a dozen points. She was 6 of 18 overall, and also had three steals and two blocked shots.

Madison College finished 11 of 23 (47%) from outside the arc for their third game with double-digit makes from distance. They were also 28 for 74 (37%) overall and 5 of 9 (55%) at the stripe. The WolfPack defense forced 26 turnovers, leading to a 20-5 advantage in points off turnovers.
