WINFIELD, Kan. — Southwestern College went shot-for-shot with rival Friends University for one quarter, but a cold stretch in the second period proved costly as the Falcons pulled away for an 87-66 win over the Lady Builders on Wednesday night in a Conference women's basketball game at Stewart Field House.

Breanna Goad added 18 points and connected on six 3s, and Martha De La Rosa scored 11. Senior Macey Pond posted a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.

Friends (15-1, 10-1) was led by Katie Weiss with 23 points, including seven 3-pointers. Lauryn McIver added 17 points, eight rebounds and eight assists. Raegan Bugaj scored 13 off the bench, while KK Peeler and Anna Sant'Anna finished with 10 points apiece.

Friends shot 50.0% from the field (34 of 68) and went 13 of 33 from 3-point range. Southwestern hit 16 3-pointers but shot 38.2% overall (21 of 55).
