ALMA, Mich.— The Adrian College women’s basketball team fell 65-69 at Alma College on Wednesday evening, dropping to 3-11 in the MIAA and 8-13 overall.

Yeagley ended the game with 12 points, nine in the second half, hitting four three pointers. Olech led the Bulldogs with eight rebounds.

A 14-2 run by the home team in the first half, gave the Scots their commanding lead at intermission.

Alma was led by Ashley Matuzak’s 24 points, with four triples of her own. The Scots held a 40-33 advantage on the boards, and were 19-of-24 from the line, compared to Adrian’s 7-for-9.
