The Central women fell yesterday at the hands of the Luther Norse by a score of 79-to-71. The game started well for the Dutch who went on an eight-to-nothing run early in the first half. However, the Norse countered that with a ten-to-nothing run and took control early. The Dutch were led in scoring by Laura Porter with 16just nine shy of reaching the 1,000-point echelon in her career. The loss takes Central out of the field of six that will go on to the Iowa Conference Tournament.
