Wyoming, MI – Entering into Friday evening's match-up the Grace Christian University Tigers were ranked #5 in the NCCAA DII and Campbellsville University-Harrodsburg was the #6 team. The game ended up having all you would expect from two teams that closely ranked, as they provided a very competitive game from start to finish.

The Pioneers stormed out to a double-digit first quarter lead, but a huge second and third quarter from the Tigers allowed them to take the lead and extend it to seven points entering the final quarter. The Pioneers put together one final run in the end, but the Tigers withheld it just enough, resulting in a big 73-71 regional win.
Ashley Hoek had another monster game with 24 points, 14 rebounds, and 7 blocks. Emily Libey added 18 points and Megan George scored 15 in addition to dishing out 9 assists.

Next up for the Tigers is a game on the road against Concordia University-Ann Arbor next Friday at 7:00 pm.
