SAULT STE. MARIE - Lake Superior State set the tempo of Thursday's Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference women's basketball game, but No. 20 Michigan Tech flipped the switch with 10 minutes to go.

The Huskies (21-5 overall, 18-3 GLIAC) began pressing after falling behind 51-40 with 11 minutes remaining. With the help of back-to-back three-pointers by Sarah Stream and Danae Danen, they went on a 10-0 run in just over three minutes. They took a 56-54 lead with 5:47 remaining and never relinquished it.

LSSU, playing without starting guard Ronlea Peterson due to illness, otherwise controlled the game. The Lakers (15-14 overall, 8-13 GLIAC) shot 57.1 percent in the first half to lead 30-26. Emily Joseph made a three-pointer and converted a three-point play to give them their double-digit lead midway through the second half.

Marshall scored 10 points in the first half and finished with 16 points, five rebounds, three assists and two steals. Jaclyn Armstrong added 14 points and two steals, and Joseph had 10 points and eight assists. Shelle Rochon, who has also been battling illness, was 2-for-2 from three-point range and scored eight points. Allison Jaynes came off the bench to contribute seven points.

LSSU, which lost by 18 points at Michigan Tech in January, shot 47.8 percent from the field, including 7-of-14 from three-point range.

Danen led MTU in scoring with 18 points, and Katie Wysocky totaled 15 points and 11 rebounds. Stream finished with 16 points and five assists. The Huskies shot 54.8 percent from the field for the game, including 14-of-21 (66.7 percent) in the second half. They out-rebounded LSSU, 27-22.

LSSU's hopes for a GLIAC Tournament bid rest on Saturday's performance against Northern Michigan. The Lakers take on the Wildcats at 1 p.m. at Bud Cooper Gymnasium.
