Pentzer and Hickok lead the 'Cats with 16 points each
Missoula, MT - The Wildcats put up a tough fight this Thursday evening in Missoula, MT against the Lady Griz, but for the third time this year a last-second shot led to a loss for the Wildcats. This time by the score of 59-61. The loss dropped the Wildcats to 8-13 (4-8 in Big Sky play).Â
How it Happened:
The Wildcats fell behind early in this one, and found themselves down by 9 at the end of the first quarter. However, great defense and good shooting led to a second quarter in which the 'Cats outscored the Griz 20-9 and put WSU up by 2 at the half. The 'Cats trailed 31-33 with 2:11 remaining in the first half, but a 17-0 scoring run over the next 7 minutes of game time put the 'Cats up by 15 at 48-33 with 5 minutes to go in the third period. Leading 52-41 heading into the final quarter, the Wildcats shot just 2 for 12 and were outscored 20-9 in the final frame. A 3-pointer by Kori Pentzer tied the score at 59 with 27 seconds to go, but a field goal by Montana's Sophie Stiles as time expired gave the game to the Griz.
Numbers to Know:
For the game, Weber State out-shot and out-rebounded Montana, but 14 turnovers and a 7 point differential in free-throws made proved to be their undoing. Kori Pentzer and Daryn Hickok led the 'Cats in scoring with 16 points each.

The 'Cats go up against the Montana State Bobcats Saturday, Feb 5 at 2 p.m.Â
