Northwest fell to Washburn 70-51 Saturday afternoon at Bearcat Arena.

The Bearcats (6-9, 2-4 MIAA) led the Ichabods by one in the first quarter after a Mallory McConkey layup, but WU used a 6-0 run to finish the period. Northwest again battled back to tie the game 12-12, but the Ichabods went in front and never looked back from there.

For the game, Washburn shot 51-percent from the field compared to just 34-percent for Northwest.

Jaelyn Haggard led the Bearcats with 18 points on 6-7 shooting, including five three-pointers. Haggard reached 102 three-point makes for her career and ranks 10th all-time in Northwest women's basketball history.

Kaylani Maiava added 13 points and eight rebounds.

Northwest has the week off until next Saturday when they go on the road to meet Missouri Western. Pregame on KXCV 90.5 and KRNW 88.9 begins at 5:10pm followed by the opening tip at 5:30pm.
