LAST TIME OUT

The Northwest Missouri State University Bearcat women's basketball team fell 78-53 to the University of Northern Iowa Panthers in an exhibition game (for Northwest) in the McLeod Center. The Bearcats did a good job of overcoming adversity in the game, after falling behind by 19 with 4:25 left in the first quarter, the Bearcats played the Panthers to a six-point game for the remaining 35:35. 

GETTING EVERYONE INVOLVED

The Bearcats had four players score in double figures against Kansas Christian (Nov. 13) for the first time since Dec. 6, 2018 against Lincoln University.
