The Dominican University women's basketball team dropped their third straight, falling to the Aurora University Spartans 69-59 to fall to 5-7 on the season and 1-6 in the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC).
 
Sophomore Timiya Ray scored a team-high 20 points and grabbed nine rebounds in the losing effort but the Stars managed to shoot just 35-percent from the field.  Freshmen Alisha Markley and Stephenee Huggans joined Ray in double-figures scoring, dropping in 13 and ten points respectively but the rest of the Dominican lineup combined for just 16 points on 6-for-24 shooting.
 
For the Spartans, Alyssa Brems led four in double-digits with 18 points, going 7-for-11 from the field. Julie Galauner, Bailey Kramer and Bri Hall all added ten points in the winning effort.
