Mustangs Claim a Dominating Victory Over Missouri Valley

The Mustangs established early control, outscoring Missouri Valley 41-27 in the first half, powered by 8-for-15 shooting from Claudia Vanzant. Vanzant secured a double-double with 20 points and ten rebounds, leading Mount Mercy in both categories.

Madison Skelton matched Vanzant's scoring total with 20 points, shooting 7-for-15 from the field and converting five of ten free throws. Malie Marfil added 18 points on an efficient 5-for-8 shooting and went 7-for-9 at the free-throw line.

Mount Mercy capitalized on efficient free-throw shooting, converting 20 of 29 attempts (69.0%) compared to Missouri Valley's 11-for-17 (64.7%).

Missouri Valley's Ricarda Schott was a standout for the home team, leading all scorers with 22 points, but the Vikings struggled from beyond the arc, connecting on just 3-of-23 three-point attempts (13.0%).

Defensively, Mount Mercy maintained composure, allowing Missouri Valley only 37.7% shooting from the floor. The Mustangs forced 14 turnovers despite committing 15 themselves. 

The Mustangs will be back on the road on December 11th as they travel to face Culver-Stockton starting at 5:30 PM.
