HAMILTON – A slow start was too much to overcome Saturday night for the Lakehead Thunderwolves women’s basketball team.
Jon Kreiner’s squad found itself down by 10 after the fourth quarter and couldn’t chip away at the McMaster Marauders lead, falling 75-65 in Hamilton.
August Ricketts led the Wolves for a third straight game, collecting 14 points to go with seven rebounds. Rookie Nikki Ylagan continued her great start, draining three three-pointers on her way to an 11-point night.
Lakehead struggled from beyond the arc, hitting just 5 of 22 three-point attempts.
Danielle Boiaga, who torched the Wolves for 31 on Friday night, had a double-double in the rematch, scoring 13 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Clare Kenney had 17 to lead the Marauders (2-0).
The loss, the Wolves second straight, drops LU to 1-2 on the season.
