Coe College - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Hobbs, Hansche spark Coe to easy win

For awhile Wednesday afternoon, it looked like Aleena Hobbs and Mickey Hansche were engaged in their own little game of H-O-R-S-E at Eby Fieldhouse.

Hobbs would hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key, then Hansche would connect from a similar spot. Hobbs would drill a 3-pointer from the corner, then Hansche would follow suit. Hobbs would hit a triple from the wing,then Hansche would sink one, too.

You almost expected one of the Kohawks to climb into the bleachers and bank in a 3-pointer off the scoreboard, but it never came to that.

Their personal game of H-O-R-S-E ended in a tie as they finished with four 3-pointers and 18 points apiece, helping Coe collect an easy 74-41 victory over Carleton College in the final tuneup before the Iowa Conference race begins next week.

"Our team was very active on offense and creating shots for everyone," said Hobbs, a freshman from Cedar Rapids Washington. "They were having trouble shifting on defense, I think, and we were finding the open shots."
