J-Hawk girls escape Senior, 52-50
DUBUQUE -- Leading by two with 1.8 seconds left to play, Jefferson sophomore Taylor Jacobson missed the front end of a one-and-one free throw attempt and Dubuque Senior's Elizabeth Reuter got off a good look at a 3-pointer at the buzzer. The shot clanged off the front iron and Jefferson escaped with a 52-50 win Tuesday night.
“We should have intercepted the pass and had a person up on the ball, but we won and that is what counts,” Jefferson Coach Larry Niemeyer said. "The kids played hard tonight. It's a win."
Jefferson (4-5, 4-3 MVC) came to Dubuque Senior (3-8, 1-6) looking for a win in the first game after the winter break. In a battle of young teams, Jefferson started three sophomores and Senior two freshmen.
