BELLEVUE, NE – If it was Frustration Friday for University of Jamestown, then the next day was Super Saturday.

After losses Friday at Dakota State, both Jimmie teams came back with Saturday victories against Bellevue at the Gordon Lozier Athletic Center.  The Jimmie women came from 11 points down to stop Bellevue 76-71, then the UJ men eased past the Bruins 71-58.

Jessika Lofstrom scored seven in the third quarter and the Jimmies made four three-pointers, but they still were four down after three, 55-51.

Early in the fourth quarter, Jamestown, down six, engineered a 12-2 run, helped by six points from Kate Cordes and four from Kate Busek. The Jimmies led 67-66 with under three minutes left before Cordes and Busek hit back-to-back threes to make UJ a 73-66 leader.

Off the bench, Lofstrom established a career high with 19 points with three three-pointers, nine rebounds and two assists. Cordes scored 15, including nine in the final quarter. Jailyn Martinson scored a season-high 11 points.
