JAMESTOWN — The Jamestown Community College women’s basketball team got off to a slow start in Wednesday’s NJCAA Region 3 Division II basketball game.

The Jayhawks trailed 11-10 after the first quarter, but put the game away with a 47-19 run in the middle two periods to raise their record to 11-12 overall and 2-2 in Region 3 Division II.

Also turning in fine efforts for the winners were D’Auzhanay Harden with 19 points, seven assists and six steals; Zalika Stevens with 11 points, 10 rebounds and four assists; and Sydney Burk with 5 points, 10 boards and three assists. As a team, the Jayhawks hauled down 69 rebounds.

Natalina Rainford scored 16 points and Jordan Loewke added 10 for the Tribunes (2-11, 0-4).
