Women’s basketball squad begins turnaround

Alyssa Schwartz is a top returnee for next season.

Due to tournament play, few college basketball teams get to close their season with a win, but the Dutch women’s squad did so in buzzer-beating fashion. Coach Mike Jacobsma hopes that will serve
as a launching pad for future success.

Trailing Wartburg Feb. 18 by 11 points with 2:18 remaining, Central mounted a furious comeback that forced overtime, then pulled off the 83-82 upset with a desperation 3-pointer by senior forward AJ Baker.

It was Central’s second league win. The Dutch were 7-18 overall. Guard Sarah Paulson received second-team all-conference honors. She averaged 12.4 points and 7.0 rebounds. Forward Alyssa Schwartz averaged 9.8 points.
