ESTHERVILLE, Iowa – The Northeast Community College women's basketball team traveled to Estherville, Iowa Wednesday night for their first conference contest on the road this season. The Hawks fell in the matchup by a final score of 65-43.

The Hawks shot better than Iowa Lakes from both the free-throw line and the three-point line but will now turn their attention to another road ballgame Saturday against Southeastern Community College in West Burlington, Iowa.

HEAR FROM THE HAWKS COACH:

Head Women's Basketball Coach Matt Svehla on the night in Iowa and turning the page to Saturday:

"We had a rough night on both ends of the court," Svehla said. "Our execution was not clean, we shot it poorly and we were a step slow on the defensive end. We need to regroup and get ready for our next one."

UP NEXT:

The Hawks will battle Southeastern Community College at 1 p.m. Saturday in West Burlington, Iowa.
