NORFOLK – The Northeast Community College women’s basketball team picked up its 17^th win of the season with a 64-42 win over Marshalltown Community College here Wednesday.

Megan Trinder led Northeast with 13 points and ten assists. Janea Bunn finished with eleven points and five blocked shots; Yasmin Miller had ten points and Brooke Bauer had nine for Northeast.

“Marshalltown is a team that can really shoot the three pointer and we did a good job of defending the arc tonight,” said Matt Svehla, Northeast head coach. “Our perimeter defense contested shots and we controlled their penetration. Neither team shot particularly well from the field, but we were decent from the three point line, going eight for 20 and 16-21 from the free throw.”

The Hawks (17-3) will travel to North Platte on Saturday to take on North Platte Community College. Tip-off is scheduled for 3 p.m.
