MADISON, Wis. -- A late 11-0 run by host Edgewood College spoiled Alverno College's hope of a second-straight season sweep of the Eagles. The Inferno lost the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference game 66-56 Saturday evening in the Edgedome.

Alverno defeated Edgewood 70-61 back on Nov. 21 in the teams' first meeting of the season.

Back-to-back baskets by Kristen Speerschneider put the Inferno (8-5, 5-3 NACC) up 48-43 with 9 minutes to play, but the Eagles (4-9, 4-4) scored the next 11 points of the game and made eight free throws in the final 1:18 to secure the win.

Jamie Hoernke led the Inferno with a game-high 20 points on 7-of-13 shooting from the field and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line to go along with a team-best nine rebounds, while Devon Gorman added 12 points and eight rebounds.

Alverno led by 11 points midway through the first half, but a 17-6 run by the Eagles closed out the half to even the game at 31-31 as the Inferno made just a pair of field goals and two free throws in the final 7 minutes of the opening period.

Chelsey Watkins led five Edgewood players in double-figures with 17 points on 4-of-13 shooting, but made 7-of-10 free-throw attempts. She also led all rebounders with 11 boards.

Edgewood made 21-of-26 free throws, while the Inferno made just 13 trips to the line and made 10.

The Inferno looks to bounce back from the road loss with a home game versus Marian University on Tuesday. Alverno sports a perfect 6-0 record in Reiman Gymnasium this season.
