INDIANOLA - Coe outscored Simpson 8-4 over the final 2-1/2 minutes and stunned the Storm, 66-62, Saturday afternoon in Iowa Conference women's basketball.

Hannah Breitbach, Mickey Hansche and Mary Halvorson scored 14 points apiece to lead Coe (14-9, 9-3) to its eighth win in nine games. The Kohawks moved into a second-place tie with Simpson in the conference standings.

Morgan Terpstra scored 13 points to lead Simpson (14-9, 9-3). Whitney Van Wyk added 10 points and 13 rebounds.

 

Coe led by as many as nine points in the first half, but a 9-0 Simpson flurry to end the period tied the score at 31-31.

Another 9-0 run by the Storm turned a five-point deficit into a 55-51 lead with 7:34 to play.
