Felicity Jones found her shot. Nicole Harper made her free throws. And the College of Southern Idaho women’s basketball team earned a 55-53 road win over No. 6 Salt Lake Community College Friday night in Salt Lake City.

The Golden Eagles (18-7, 10-5 Scenic West Athletic Conference) won despite shooting 19 percent in the first half. They survived by forcing 13 Bruins turnovers before intermission and trailed only 20-14 at the break.

Salt Lake (19-5, 11-4) led 37-26 with 13:21 remaining and looked poised to pull away when Jones hit a jumper and a 3-pointer to ignite an 18-4 CSI run.

“Flip was the difference,” CSI head coach Randy Rogers told 1450 AM KEZJ of Jones. “She hit some big shots for us.”

The loss knocked the Bruins out of a share for the SWAC lead and marked their fourth loss in six games after starting 9-0 in league play. North Idaho College (21-3, 12-3) took sole possession of first place with a 75-55 win at Snow College (18-7, 9-6). Snow’s loss leaves CSI alone in third place entering today’s 3 p.m. road game against the Badgers.

Jones not only scored key points Friday after struggling with her shot much of the season, but she also shut down Salt Lake’s Haley Holmstead, holding the NJCAA’s leading scorer to two points, more than 20 below her average.

“She likes to go to her left side, so I just made her go right,” said Jones. “She got really frustrated.”

Jones left the game with an ankle sprain with about six minutes to play, but Nicole Harper took care of things, hitting four consecutive free throws to keep CSI in front. Kalika Tullock went 1-for-2 at the line with 20.8 remaining to give CSI a 51-49 lead. Maddy Plunkett rebounded Tullock’s miss on the second try and was fouled, hitting two free throws to give the Eagles a four-point cushion.

Daidra Brown sealed it by going 2-for-2 at the stripe, making Sheila Adams’ 3-pointer at the buzzer inconsequential.

“It was a great second half for us,” said Rogers, whose team shot 56 percent during the final 20 minutes.

Plunkett led four CSI players in double figures with 12 points, while Shauneice Samms had 11. Both Harper and Jones netted 11, while Daidra Brown scored nine, including five straight in the decisive second-half run.

Led by Harper’s 6-for-6 effort at the line, CSI hit 14 of 17 free throws.

Allie Blake’s 14 points and 10 rebounds paced Salt Lake, while Adams scored 10.
