ERIE, Pa. -- Michigan Tech led from wire-to-wire in a 66-51 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference women's basketball road victory at Mercyhurst today. The win completed the Huskies sweep of their GLIAC South Division foes.

The Huskies made five three-pointers in the first half for a 35-21 lead at the intermission. Tech's defense also caused 11 turnovers in the opening 20 minutes.

The visitors built up a 17-point lead (51-34) at the 10:12 mark of the second half. Mercyhurst answered with an 11-2 run to cut the margin to eight with 5:14 to play. Sarah Magee drained a three-pointer on Tech's ensuing possession and Amanda Sieja tallied six of her game-high 16 points over the next three minutes to put the game away.

Sieja was six-of-10 from the floor and four-of-four at the foul line en route to her 16 points. Catherine Rottier added 13 points -- all in the first half -- and a team-high seven rebounds. Maria Schneider also reached double figures with 11 points.

Tech shot 44 percent from the floor and made nine three-pointers in the game. Mercyhurst was limited to 36 percent shooting. The Lakers owned a 38-34 rebounding edge, but turned the ball over five more times than the Huskies.

Michigan Tech (15-5, 11-2 GLIAC) will return home for Winter Carnival week. The Huskies host Ferris State on Thursday (Feb. 9) at 5:30 p.m.

Notes: Michigan Tech owns a 29-5 record in its last 34 GLIAC games . . . Tech has defeated the Lakers all 13 times the teams have met.
