Emily Reiten started the game for Jamestown with a bang. The Jays sophomore knocked down four triples in the first 3:30 of the game and added a free throw for 14 of her team-high 16 in the early going.

Valley City too control of the game down the stretch as the Jays shot just 20% in the game. Clarissa Olson and Brenna Dieterle had big second-halves. Olson lead all scorers with 17 and Deiterle added 14. All but six of those points came in the second half.

On the preceding trip down the floor, Jared Lentz passed on a lay-up trying to get a three and the Hi-Liners eventually turned it over.

Lentz had 19 to pace Hi-Liners and Fuchs with 19 for the Jays.

Both teams are back to action on Tuesday.
