Scots Stopped Short at Olivet
OLIVET, Mich. - It was a back and forth game as Alma fell to Olivet 76-72 to move to 10-11 on the season and 6-8 in conference games.
Heather Keenan (Charlotte) had a season/career high of 23 points to go with five rebounds and four assists, three steals and three turnovers. Megan Hoblet (Cadillac) had 20 points, her fifth consecutive double-digit scoring performance while Ashley Matuzak (Saginaw/Nouvel Catholic) added 17 points and six rebounds.
As a team, the Scots held the shooting advantage, shooting 49 percent from the field while limiting the Comets to just 34.9 percent from the same range.
Alma led by as many as nine points with just over three minutes remaining in the first half, but Olivet surged back to take the two-point halftime lead. The Scots and Comets battled back and forth and the lead changed hands 19 times throughout the game. Alma even went up by as many as eight points in the second half, but again, Olivet answered and came back to win by four down the stretch.
Alma returns to the hardwood this Wednesday when it travels to Hope College for a 7:30 p.m. game against the Flying Dutch.
