The quick MIAA women's basketball turnaround between Northeastern State and Washburn benefitted the RiverHawks, who pulled out a 47-44 win Tuesday in Tahlequah, Okla.

Washburn had claimed a 76-66 victory over the RiverHawks Saturday at Lee Arena and the Ichabods led much of Tuesday's rematch before Northeastern took advantage of the Ichabods' fourth-quarter offensive woes to improve to 5-12 overall and in the MIAA.

Washburn led 24-20 at the half and 38-33 at the start of the fourth quarter after leading by 7, but Northeastern ended the game on an 11-2 run over the final 5:18 to drop the Ichabods to 7-9 on the season.

The Ichabods tied their-season low field goal percentage at 28.6 and made just 2 of 12 3-point attempts. 
 
Senior Hunter Bentley finished with a double-double for Washburn, leading all scorers with 20 points to go with 10 boards. Freshman Mackenzie Gamble added 7 points and two steals.
 
Northeastern State was led by Cenia Hayes with 17 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks.
 
Washburn will face No. 20-ranked Central Missouri Saturday in Warrensburg, Mo. (1 p.m. tipoff).
