Game Story

EVANSTON, Illinois (Ticker) -- Jamie Broback's big second half
helped No. 15 Minnesota survive a scare.

Broback scored 18 of her 26 points over the final 20 minutes as
the Gophers rallied from a five-point halftime deficit to defeat
Northwestern, which is 10th of 11 teams in the Big Ten
Conference, 70-62.

It was the 12th Big Ten win for Minnesota (22-6, 12-4 Big Ten),
matching the program's record since a 16-game conference format
was established.

Broback hit a layup to break a 59-59 tie with under three
minutes remaining and hit a 3-pointer to extend Minnesota's lead
to five points.  The Gophers drained all four free throws down
the stretch to seal their third straight win.

Janel McCarville recorded her 11th double-double of the season
with 18 points and 12 rebounds for Minnesota, which used a 9-0
run early in the second half after trailing, 41-36, at the
break.

Sara Stutz scored a career-high 22 points for Northwestern
(5-24, 2-14), which had its losing streak extended to eight
games.
