Scots Win Big Against Finlandia To End Losing Skid

NEGAUNEE, Mich. – The Alma College women's basketball team traveled to Negaunee in Michigan's Upper Penninsula to face Finlandia University at Negaunee Lakeview Gym. The Scots had three players in double figures as freshman Ashley Matuzak (Saginaw/Nouvel Catholic) scored 16, senior Michelle Dettling (Chelsea) had 15 and freshman Erica Philp (Ubly) scored 10 to give the Scots their first victory in three games.

Matuzak's team-leading 16 points is a season-best for the first year player out of Saginaw's Nouvel Catholic. Her previous best was 12 points on three occasions. Philp's double-double of 10 points and 15 rebounds is the second double-double of her young career as she posted her first career double-double with 15 points and 17 rebounds against Concordia on Nov. 28.

After shooting under 40 percent from the field in two-straight games, the Scots got back on track, shooting 40.6 percent from the field tonight. The Scots posted a season-best 53 rebounds against the Lions along with a season-low eight fouls.

Alma returns to action when it hosts the Alma-St. Louis Rotary Classic Dec. 17-18 at Alma's Cappaert Gymnasium.
