The biggest scare came after Monmouth pushed its lead to 69-65 on two Melissa Gorski free throws with 22 seconds left. IC's Kristen Endress scored on a drive to the basket and was fouled with 14 seconds remaining. She rebounded her missed free throw and got off a potential game-tying 10-foot jumper that missed the mark. Laura Jahn secured the rebound and sealed the win with two free throws with eight seconds to play. Candace Norville, who led IC with 13 points, banked home a three-pointer with two seconds left, but Monmouth was able to inbound the ball and hang on for the victory, its third in a row.
Gorski and Jahn each scored 18 points and combined to go 14-of-15 at the foul line. Elise Waldorf added 12 points and five blocks and Ashley Yeast had nine points and nine rebounds. Jahn had a team-high 16 rebounds for the Scots, who are now 1-3 in the league and 7-4 overall.
For IC, Lisa Imel added 12 points and 10 rebounds, and former Roseville star Alexsha Alexander scored two points in seven minutes of action.
