Bearcat Arena has been especially good to @nwbearcatwbb this season. They're 12-3 on their own floor, the third highest win total at home for the 'Cats in program history behind only 2011 (15) and 2004 (14). Senior Ella Moody will be honored before the final home game Saturday.

The @nwbearcatwbb squad rode the three-pointing shooting of Kirsten Hauck to a 75-66 home triumph over the Missouri Western Griffons Saturday at Bearcat Arena.
Hauck poured in a career-high 26 points and buried seven three-pointers to pace the Bearcat offense. Northwest moves to 11-10 overall and 4-7 in MIAA play. The Bearcat victory snapped a four-game losing skid. Missouri Western dropped to 6-14 overall and 2-9 in league action.

Incredible group to lead the conference champs! These three put so much into their skills and the game itself. All three will continue to play at the next level and do great things. Before that, we have more work to do! ๐
The Cats secure back to back winning regular seasons for the 1st time in 17 years & finish with the toughest schedule in America (#1 of 301 SOS). Todayโs win also marks a 4th straight .500 or better season (longest stretch since 1991).
Bearcats are on to KC for MIAA Madness!
Congratulations to @AbbyLee000 on scoring her 1000th point tonight. She is only 3rd player in school history to get 1000 career points and 500 career rebounds. (Millie Niggeling and Ella Skinner)
