Alma Drops First Non-League Game to Aquinas, 60-45

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - The Alma College women's basketball team fell to 4-2 on the season with a 60-45 loss to Aquinas in Grand Rapids tonight.

Held to just 18 points in the first half - down 32-18 at the half - the Scots matched the Saints in the second half but it was not enough to come back from the halftim deficit.

Ashley Matuzak (Saginaw/Nouvel Catholic) led the Maroon and Cream with 11 points while Darcie Philp (Ubly) added 10 points.  Philp recorded another double-double, adding 10 rebounds to her 10 points on the evening.

One key statistic came in the form of 27 Alma turnovers compared to just 12 from the Saints.
