Northwest Missouri State's six-game win streak was snapped in a conference-opening matchup against rival Missouri Western 57-48.

The Bearcats (7-2, 0-1 MIAA) started slow making just two of 17 shot attempts in the opening quarter. The Griffons led 19-2 after just seven minutes, and entered the second quarter ahead 22-4.

Northwest charged back with a 13-2 run to begin the second half and cut the deficit down to one at 36-35. Missouri Western answered with back-to-back buckets to push the lead back to six points. An Aaliyah Riley layup brought the Bearcats back within two in the fourth quarter, but they couldn't complete the come back.

Caely Kesten led Northwest with 15 points.

Molly Hartnett pulled in 10 rebounds in the game.

Northwest goes on the road Thursday night to face Emporia State at 5:30pm. Pregame on KXCV 90.5 and KRNW 88.9 begins at 5pm.
