Mary Halvorson scored 16 points and grabbed nine rebounds, and Hannah Breitbach added 15 points as Coe stunned Loras, 60-48, Saturday in an Iowa Conference women's basketball game at Eby Fieldhouse.

Coe handed Loras only its second loss in league play in the regular-season finale. The Kohawks (15-10, 10-4) clinched the No.2 seed in next week's conference tournament. Loras (17-8, 12-2) is the No.1 seed.

Both teams received first-round byes and will host semifinal round games on Thursday. Coe will play either Dubuque or Buena Vista, Loras either Simpson or Wartburg.

The conference championship game is next Saturday at the highest remaining seed. The Iowa Conference tournament champion receives an automatic bid to the NCAA Division III national tournament.

The Coe defense stifled Loras on Saturday, holding the Duhawks to 28.3 percent shooting. The Kohawks shot 48.9 percent.

Breitbach made 4 of 5 3-pointers and the Kohawks shot 8 of 15 as a team.

Mackenzie Reed added eight points and eight rebounds for Coe.
