While most Madison College students took a break, the women’s basketball team was busy racking up some impressive wins on the court.

Most recently, the WolfPack routed the Milwaukee Area Technical College Stormers 88-59 at home on Jan. 11. The crowd sizzled with energy from people there to watch the doubleheader with Milwaukee Area Technical College  as well as the showcase of North Eastside Youth Basketball (NESYB) players.

The WolfPack jumped out to a 16-0 lead before the Stormers finally got on the board.

Madison College dominated the Stormers with a full-court press that the Stormers never figured out how to break. The WolfPack stretched their lead to 44 points mid-way through the third quarter before finally calling off the pressure.

After that, the Stormers mounted a small scoring surge to close the lead to 30, but Madison College continued to lead by about 30 points for the remainder of the game.

The win boosted Madison College to 3-0 in conference play and 13-3 overall as they continue their three-game home streak.

Four WolfPack players scored in double digits.

Sophomore Rachel Slaney walked away with her seventh double-double in a row, scoring 19 points and pulling down 10 rebounds. Freshmen Peyton Trapino and Megan Corcoran both netted 17 points. Freshman Macy Graf posted 15 points.
