Big 4th quarter allows Fighting Scots to pull away from Grinnell women's basketball team

MONMOUTH, Ill. - For the second day in a row, the Grinnell College women's basketball team battled Monmouth College toe-to-toe before the Fighting Scots used a big fourth quarter to pull away.

Monmouth outscored the visitors 17-2 in the final period to secure a 68-49 Midwest Conference victory Sunday afternoon.

The first quarter was back and forth, with Grinnell holding an 18-16 edge at its conclusion. Monmouth outscored the Pioneers 20-11 in the second quarter and was up 36-29 at halftime.

Monmouth, 8-3 in the MWC and 11-6 in all games, got a jumper to start the third quarter before the Pioneers came to life. They crept within 45-43 at the 4:12 mark on Nicole Ware's '25 free throws, and tied it at 45-all when Erin Lillis '24 drained a pair of charity shots a minute later.

Monmouth regained control, though, leading 51-47 at the end of three periods and pulling away in the last quarter to secure the win.

Grinnell, 4-7 in the MWC and 7-11 in all games, got 14 points, five rebounds and two steals from Ware. Aidan Coalson '22 also pulled down five boards and Sara Booher '25, Lillis and Sofia Ahooja '22 had two assists each. Booher's total was a career-high.

Coalson contributed a blocked shot, pushing her up to 12th all-time at Grinnell with 42. Ahooja ran her career assists total to 181, which is 15th in program history.

Grinnell entertains Illinois College Wednesday in Darby Gymnasium. Tip-off is 7:30 p.m.
