Wiedt Dials Long Distance to Give Women's Basketball Win in OAC Opener

Wiedt's second half paced a Mount Union (4-1, 1-0 OAC) second half rally that saw the Purple Raiders erase a 10-point deficit on their way to tallying 53 second half points.

 

Muskingum (4-1, 0-1 OAC), which shot 58-percent (14-of-24) in the first half and led 34-28 at the break, held a 40-30 lead when Mallory Moore hit a three-pointer with 18:56 to play.

 

Wiedt then took over as she nailed four three-pointers to highlight a 23-7 Mount Union run over the next 10 minutes to give the Raiders a 55-47 advantage. 

 

Muskingum would get to within four points, 67-63, with 1:54 remaining, but a pair of free throws from freshman Amada Rose (Uniontown/Green) and Wiedt's final three-pointer would push lead back out to nine points, 72-63 and put the game away.

 

Rose finished with 14 points while sophomore center Lauren Forquer (North Canton/Green) had 10 points and a team-best eight rebounds as the other Raiders in double figures.

 

Tiffany Youel had 20, Suzanne Nichols posted 18 and Jessica McKenzie had 16 to lead the Muskies.

 

Mount Union is home again next Saturday against Heidelberg College in an OAC game.
