BUTTE, Mont. -- Megan Eisenmann scored 17 points and had six rebounds to lead Montana Tech to a 65-61 victory over the Dickinson State women's basketball team in a nonconference game on Sunday afternoon.
Terri Washington scored 14 points and had five rebounds and Kylee Bittner had 12 points and three assists to lead the Blue Hawks (0-2). Mandy Mullock added 10 points and five rebounds.
DSU led 36-32 at halftime, but shot just 36 percent in the second half and fell behind late.
That forced DSU to foul. Montana Tech went 15 of 20 from the free-throw line.
"We had our chances," DSU head coach Andre Goldberg said. "On the other end, we had to foul them and they made their free throws."
