Sat - 15 Dec Written by Jim Ecker

Krissi Tow plays on a talented basketball team at Kirkwood Community College and has to take advantage of the opportunities that come her way.

She succeeded Saturday.

Tow scored eight points in eight minutes of the first half to help the seventh-ranked Eagles blast Iowa Lakes Community College, 76-30, at Johnson Hall on the Cedar Rapids campus.

Tow is a 6-foot sophomore from Xavier High School. She's been a role player at Kirkwood, averaging 2.6 points last season and 4.5 points so far this year.

Tow went 2-for-2 from the floor and 4-for-4 at the foul line in the first half Saturday. She also grabbed two rebounds.

"The first half she did a nice job," Coach Kim Muhl remarked. "She played the way I thought she could play."

Sat - 01 Dec Written by Jim Ecker

Kianna "Kiki" Jacobs is not insulted when you say she plays basketball like a guy.
