SAULT STE. MARIE - Lake Superior State netted 70 points for the first time in nine games, and the Lakers' balanced attack led to a 70-64 victory over Tiffin during Saturday's Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference women's basketball game at Bud Cooper Gymnasium.

The Lakers (4-8 overall, 3-5 GLIAC), who are 3-2 during the last five games, were led by Maria Blazejewski, who had 23 points and six rebounds. But it was sophomore guard Taylor Greene who got LSSU off to its best offensive start in several weeks. She scored eight of her career-high tying 12 points during the first half to help LSSU maintain a 29-28 edge.

Lake Superior State never trailed after Kandace Crittendon scored to tie it, 32-32, at 18:41 of the second half. The Lakers were 10-of-12 at the free throw line during the final 1:35 while protecting their lead.

LSSU's scoring effort included 15 points from Crittendon and 11 from Raven Trammell, who was 3-for-5 from three-point range. Katie Schild was scoreless, but compiled a team-leading seven rebounds and six blocked shots.

LSSU shot 49 percent from the field, which is a season-high against GLIAC competition. The Lakers were 4-of-12 from three-point range and made 18-of-23 free throws. They attempted no free throws during the first half.

Stephanie Kelly scored 14 points, and Jillian Adams and Jordan Fraley added 13 each for Tiffin (6-6 overall, 3-5 GLIAC). The Dragons shot 35.3 percent from the field, including 4-of-14 from three-point range, and made 12-of-22 free throws. They out-rebounded LSSU, 40-37.

LSSU travels to Saginaw Valley State on Jan. 10.
