MILWAUKEE – The MSOE women's basketball team locked up their tenth conference win of the season on Saturday afternoon, cruising to victory over Illinois Tech as the regular season begins to wind down.

FINAL SCORE

Illinois Tech Scarlet Hawks – 43
MSOE RAIDERS - 75

HOW IT HAPPENED

• MSOE (15-5, 10-3 NACC) and Illinois Tech (2-19, 1-13 NACC) were deadlocked at 3-3 after the first couple possesions in the first quarter and from there the Raiders never looked back. A three pointer from Halena Hill gave MSOE a ten-point lead just after the midway mark of the first frame, and a fast break feed from Shelby Glodowski to Emily Troia would put the Raiders up 25-11 heading to the second quarter.  The Raiders would continue to extend their lead across the second quarter, with a layup from Dani Mendez pushing the MSOE lead past the 20-point threshold.  The MSOE lead would reach as much as 23 points after a couple of free throws from Aleah Butterbrodt, with the Raiders holding a commanding 44-23 lead at the break.
• Coming out of halftime, the Raiders would pick up right where they left off, going on a 14-5 run to open the third quarter, capped off by a three pointer by Glodowski.  From there the Raiders would coast to victory, pushing their lead past the 30-point mark at the free throw line as fourteen different Raiders scored a basket in the all-around team win.  June Kirkpatrick would tally her first career points and a three-pointer from Emily Ross capped off the Raiders 75-43 win as they continue to battle for a home playoff game.
