KEOKUK, Iowa – The Northeast Community College women's basketball team shot 42 percent from the field to narrowly defeat Southeastern Community College in ICCAC play on Saturday, 59-51 in Keokuk, Iowa.

It was all Northeast (10-6, 9-6 ICCAC) in the first quarter after they jumped out to a 17-8 lead, powered by a strong-defensive effort. Taylor Peter (Chambers, Neb.) did what she does best in the second quarter, owning the paint and grabbing rebounds as she accounted for most of the Hawks' points heading into halftime.

Both teams struggled to get going in the third quarter, but the Hawks managed to outscore the Blackhawks, 16-11 in the final quarter. Yiesha Williams (Elkhart, Ind.) and Ashley Hassett (Hershey, Neb.) pushed the Hawks to victory with a pair of clutch layups in the final minutes.

Peter tallied 20 points and five rebounds. Patricija Peric (Zagreb, Croatia) added 15 points and five boards, while Hassett had 12 points.

The Hawks host Iowa Central Community College at 5 p.m. Wednesday at the Cox Activities Center in Norfolk.
