The No. 22-ranked Raven Women's Basketball team battled back from a 10-point third quarter deficit to Clarke University on Saturday before the Pride where able to come back to life offensively and earn the 67-60 win over the Ravens.

Benedictine (5-5,2-4 Heart) held Clarke (7-3, 3-2 Heart) under their season average for offensive rebounds and limited them to just nine second-chance points but the Pride where able to take advantage of 26 Raven turnovers that led directly to 15 points in the seven-point win.

The Ravens turned an 11-11 tie late in the first quarter into a nine point avantage midway through the second quarter as they outscored the Pride 11-2 over a seven minute stretch. Clarke was able to erase their deficit and held Benedictine scoreless over the final five minutes of the half to take a 32-27 lead into halftime.

A 3-pointer from Grace Brzozowski and a basket from Kayla Staley erased the Ravens halftime deficit and pull the game into its fifth tie inside the first three minutes of the third quarter. Clarke answered with a 10-0 to pull ahead by as much as 10 points before Benedictine answered with a 15-2 run to close out the quarter and take a 47-44 lead into the final 10 minutes of the game.

Benedictine maintained their lead throughout the first six minutes of the fourth quarter before Clarke tied the game at 57-57. Even with that, the Ravens were able to pull back in front on a 3-pointer from Rachael Baumgartner. Clarke tied it again at 60-60 with a pair of free throws with just over two minutes left to play and then held the Ravens scoreless over the rest of the game to earn the seven-point win.

The Ravens won the battle on the boards, outrebounding Clarke 44-39. Benedictine pulled in 18 offensive rebounds that led to 13 points as the Ravens finished the game with a 13-9 advantage on second-chance points. They also finished the game with a 10-point advantage off the bench as Benedictine outscored Clarke 22-12.
