The Riverland women’s basketball team pushed the No. 1 team country into overtime, but it couldn’t finish the deal in a 75-70 loss to Madison Area Tech in the Worthington Invite Saturday.

The Blue Devils (1-2 overall) tied the game at 66-66 with 15 seconds left when Krissy Schemmel hit a three-pointer.

Two Austin grads also stepped up for RCC as Krista Viehauser poured in 29 points and Robin Arjes chipped in nine. Arjes scored all of her points in the second half.

“Robin really played well for us and it was a close game the whole way,” RCC head coach Suzy Hebrink said. “It was a great game.”

On Friday, RCC lost to Dordt, Iowa 76-54.

RCC scoring: Krista Viehauser, 29; Robin Ajres, 9; Krissy Schemmel, 8; Joni Lillo, 8; Brooke Rosenstiel, 7; Bridget Bergstrom, 3; Selena Gindratt, 2; Kenzie Martin, 2
