CEDARVILLE, Ohio - Malone scored the last nine points and halted Cedarville's home court winning streak with an 81-74 G-MAC decision at the Callan Athletic Center in the annual Play4Kay contest.
The Lady Jackets, 16-6 overall and 9-4 G-MAC, had won 24 consecutive contests on campus and 32 straight in regular season play.
CU took its last lead, 74-72, when
Alli Roh buried a baseline jumper with 2:07 to play.
The Pioneers regained the advantage on a three-pointer with 1:13 remaining and then made six-of-six free throws down the stretch to seal it.
Abby Wolford poured in a team-high 25 points. Unfortunately for the Jackets, the senior guard left the game early in the fourth quarter and did not return.
Ashlyn Huffman totaled ten points and seven assists while Roh chipped in nine points.
Stinger Notes:
- Wolford's 25 points came in 22 minutes of playing time and matched her season high (Christian Brothers).
