Northwest Missouri State hung tough with Missouri Western throughout Tuesday evening, but as the offense went cold, the Griffons pulled out a 66-56 win.

The Bearcats (7-20, 3-15 MIAA) led 33-30 at halftime, but were outscored by 13 in the second half as they shot just 36.8-percent and went 1-5 from three-point range in the final two quarters.

Jaelyn Haggard scored 16 of her 18 points in the first half, and left the game in the second half with an injury.

Kendey Eaton also finished with 18 points for the Bearcats.

Northwest will wrap up the regular season Thursday evening in Topeka, KS with a matchup against Washburn. Pregame on KXCV 90.5 and KRNW 88.9 begins at 5:10pm, followed by the opening tip at 5:30pm.
