CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa ? Mount Mercy hadn?t been playing well on its home court, and that trend continued early on Saturday, but the 15th-ranked Mustangs turned it around in the second half to beat Waldorf, 77-60, in a Midwest Collegiate Conference matchup on Saturday at Hennessey Recreation Center.
A recent three-game skid at home went by the wayside on Saturday as Mount Mercy (19-7, 11-3 MCC) put up 50 points after intermission against the Warriors (7-18, 4-10 MCC). The Mustangs shot 50 percent from the floor after the break and went 10-of-13 at the free throw line to earn their fourth straight win.
Four Mustangs hit double figures, led by Emily Greiner?s 18 points. She got 11 of those at the foul line on 14 attempts. The senior guard also finished with five rebounds and a pair of steals. Senior guard Micha Mims narrowly missed a double-double with 17 points and nine boards. She tallied four steals as well.
Sophomore forward Amanda Frost added 14 points and five rebounds, senior guard Mackenzie Skay 10 points and four boards. In her first action this season, senior forward Bria Fields came off the bench to score seven points. Senior guard Laura Lippert contributed seven rebounds and a game-high four assists.
Ellie Markwardt scored 16 points for the Warriors. Allie Davison chipped in 11 points and five rebounds, BreeAnn Hageman six points, 10 boards and three blocked shots. Mia Chiaro and Joni Lillo had eight points apiece.
Mount Mercy hosts St. Ambrose on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. at Hennessey Rec Center. The Mustangs can sweep the season series with the Queen Bees (10-13, 6-8 MCC), whom they beat, 80-67, on Jan. 11 in Davenport.
