The Doane Tiger women’s basketball team completed the sweep of Nebraska Wesleyan with a 90-62 victory over the Prairie Wolves.
The Tiger recorded 25 steals in the game, and Laci Stewart and Josi Gronemeyer paced the Tigers in scoring.
This weekend, Doane defeated Midland Lutheran.
Doane had a field goal percentage of 53.4 for the 83-70 victory against Midland, and dropped to 31.7 percent in their 51-84 loss to Sterling. There was also a significant difference between the games in 3-point shots scored: 42.9 percent in the Midland game, and 16.7 percent versus Sterling.
Head coach Tracee Fairbanks was happy with the team's energy.
"I felt really good about the effort we put forth," Fairbanks said.
However, Fairbanks saw a difference in the team against Sterling.
"We came out a different ball club." Fairbanks said. "We didn't do the little things we talked about."
Fairbanks said the next step for the Tigers will be "working toward consistency."
Regardless of the loss to Sterling, guard Shana Reese expressed a constructive attitude.
“All we can do now is learn from our loss and get ready for the next game," Reese said.
