Four straight by the Tigers gave them the lead and the visitors from Crete, Nebraska were ahead by one at the intermission 31-30.<\/p>\n<p>An Evavold basket followed by an Annie Rhinesmith three-point basket put Dordt up 35-31 with 7:37 left in the third but the Tigers went on a 7-0 run to re-establish control. The Defenders were able to tie the game at 40-40 on an Erika Feenstra free throw and Dordt was able to forge a 45-42 end of the quarter advantage.<\/p>\n<p>Doane scored first two to start the fourth quarter but Dordt scored the next four with Evavold getting back to back baskets. After a Doane basket Dordt built the lead to 56-46 with seven unanswered at the 4:02 mark. Doane never got closer than seven the rest of the game as Dordt controlled the closing minutes for the 64-51 win.<\/p>\n<p>Dordt was 23-56 from the field and 3-23 from the three-point line while converting 15-17 free throws.<\/p>\n<p>Erika Feenstra led the way with 17 points with four rebounds, while\u00a0Rachel Evavold had 10 points and five rebounds with eight points in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe did not shoot the ball well today,&#8221; coach Bill Harmsen said. &#8220;I thought we had a great shootaround this morning and two great practices leading up to this and we were ready. Credit Doane we had them down early and fought back and went on a little run and from that point on in the first half it was a ball game. At halftime Doane was shooting 10 percentage points better from the field and three-point range than their season numbers.\u00a0 That was a point at halftime to make them work harder on offense and get after them.\u201d<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dordt Athleitcs Mike Byker, Sports Information Director SIOUX CENTER &#8211; The Dordt women\u2019s basketball team couldn\u2019t shake the Doane Tigers until the fourth quarter in taking<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":605,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,12],"tags":[88,193,147,148,194],"class_list":["post-603","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-news","category-womens-basketball","tag-basketball","tag-doane","tag-dordt","tag-erika-feenstra","tag-rachel-evavold"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=603"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":619,"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603\/revisions\/619"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/605"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=603"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=603"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=603"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
