Box Score #2 RVC Women's Basketball stretched their winning streak to eight games on Wednesday night with a 67-50 win over Milwaukee Area Technical College. The Golden Eagles are now 18-3 overall and 5-0 in N4C play.

Tierra McGowan had a huge first half, scoring 15 points and grabbing 9 rebounds before the break. She finished with 35 points and 22 rebounds on the evening.
"We have the ability to do some pretty special things when we defend and rebound," said Head Women's Basketball Coach
Misty Opat. "Tierra had a great game, but
Jaycee Cleaver also contributed a double-double with 14 points and 13 rebounds. We won the rebounding battle 57-40, and that is something that we definitely can build on moving forward."
