St. Cloud, Minn. -- The St. Cloud State University women's basketball team took the court at Halenbeck Hall this evening for a first-round match-up in the 2014 Sanford Health Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) tournament.
The Huskies faced the Cougars from the University of Sioux Falls. St. Cloud State entered into the match-up as the NSIC North #4 seed, the Cougars coming in seeded at #5 in the South. The Huskies fell to the University of Sioux Falls 68-75 in final scoring, putting an end to their 2014 season.
The Huskies finish the year with a 16-11 overall mark. The University of Sioux Falls improves to 13-14 overall and will take on Wayne State on Saturday, March 1 in a second round tournament match-up.
Tonight's contest consisted of five tied scores and three lead changes. The score was all tied up at the half (38-38), but the Cougars took the lead for the entirety of the remaining 20 minutes. Sioux Falls had their largest lead of ten at the 13:16 mark.
