Spartans Win Defensive Battle at Rose-Hulman 43-38

Box Score

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – The Manchester Spartans grinded out a 43-38 victory at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology on Saturday night in women's basketball action.

Freshman Madison Stamm (Fortville, Ind./Anderson Prep) scored the final seven points for Manchester as the Black & Gold grinded out a weekend split with the Fightin' Engineers.

Stamm knocked down a three-pointer at the 4:32 mark of the fourth quarter to put the Spartans ahead 39-36. Manchester would not relinquish the lead. Despite not making another field goal as a unit, the Spartans relied on their stingy defense and on Stamm's 4-4 mark at the free throw line down the stretch to secure Saturday's victory.

Stamm led MU with nine points. Miranda Bieghler (Plainfield, Ind./South Putnam) added eight points. Hillery Shepherd (Middletown, Ind./Shenandoah) chipped in a seven point, five rebound performance off the bench.

Rose-Hulman got 14 points and nine rebounds from Jordan Barlow.

For the night, Manchester finished 14-51 from the floor. Rose-Hulman ended the day shooting 13-42. The Spartans ended the game 11-14 from the foul line. Rose shot 11-13 from the charity stripe.

Winners of three of their last four games, Manchester will host Franklin College in Stauffer-Wolfe Arena on Friday, February 19, at 6 p.m.
