MENOMONIE (November 24, 2012) - UW-Stout overcame a nearly four minute dry spell late in the first half that saw their 19 point lead disappear into a 38-36 St. Scholastica halftime lead, only to come back in the second half to take a 90-79 win over the Saints Saturday at Johnson Fieldhouse in the Quality Inn and Suites Turkey Shootout.

The Blue Devils (2-2) used a tenacious defense to slow the Saints down after Scholastica went on a 17-2 run over the final 4-minutes, 2-seconds of the first half. The Blue Devils caused four turnovers in the first four minutes of the second half to take the lead.

Sami Schoeder (Jr, Durand) hit a jumper at 18:53 to pull Stout to within two points and Kayla Windt (Sr, Pence) drained a three-pointer at 18:19 to give Stout the lead, 41-40.

Stout pulled out to a five point lead, but the Saints (0-3) came back to take a 52-51 lead at the 13:19 mark. A three-pointer less than a minute later gave Stout a 54-52 lead and the Blue Devils did not trail the rest of the way.

Schoeder scored 15 of her game-high 24 points in the second half as Stout regained the 19-point lead they had in the first half, 80-61, at 5:17. 

The Saints would not go away and cut the lead twice to as little as 11 points. Whitney Rawdon (Sr, Eau Claire) helped Stout's second half push with 11 points to finish with 15 points. Brea Boomer (So, Grand Portage, Minn) scored seven points in the second stanza to finish with 11 points. Stout finished the game going 10-of-26 from three-point range, with Schoeder dropping in five three-pointers.

The Saints had five players in double digits, led by Erin Frase with 15. Mariah Hovick tallied 13 points, Danica Schellbach and Kayla Heisler each had 12 points. St. Scholastica had a decided advantage at the free throw line, taking advantage of 32 Stout fouls. The Saints connected on 36-of-46 charity attempts.

Stout will play Martin Luther College, Sunday, Nov. 25, at 3 p.m. St. Scholastica will face the University of Dubuque at 11 a.m. Dubuque defeated Martin Luther, 63-60, in the tournament's opening game.
