GRAND FORKS, N.D.-  The Montana State Billings women’s basketball team dropped its season opener 89-65 to Minnesota State-Moorhead Friday in a neutral game at the University of North Dakota Classic.  The Lady Jackets are 0-1, while the Dragons are 1-0.

Junior guard Alira Carpenter’s (Lewistown) shooting was right on the mark for the Lady Jackets scoring a game-high 26 points.  Carpenter was 7-of-15 from the floor, 4-of-6 from long range and was a perfect 8-of-8 from the free throw line.  Shantell Marquis (Cascade) and Jetton Meadors (Billings) each added nine and eight points respectively with Marquis making a game-high four steals.

The Dragons had four players score in double figures and were led by Katie Walden’s 19 points.  Walden was 8-of-15 from the field and 3-of-6 from the perimeter.  Jessica Fesenmaier netted 16 points with Allison Swenson and Shelly Soule each adding 14.

As a team the Yellowjackets shot 20-of-57 from the floor and were an efficient 40 percent from three-point range connecting on 8-of-20.  The team was out-rebounded by the Dragons 44-28.

The Lady Jackets wrap up the tournament with a game against perennial power University of North Dakota on Saturday.  Tip off is set for 6:00 p.m. CST.  The Jackets open the season at home November 23 and 24 when they host the Chinook Wireless/Clock Tower Inn Classic.  Teams in attendance will include, Regis University, University of Mary and Northwest Missouri State.
