CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – Coe College used a big run in the 3rd quarter and missed only two shots in the 4th quarter to overcome a halftime deficit and rally back to defeat the Nebraska Wesleyan women's basketball team 91-82 on Monday afternoon in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
 
NWU led 37-34 at halftime on the road and got up by six points early in the third quarter when the Kohawks made their run.  NWU led 40-34, then Coe went on a 9-0 run to build up a 45-40 lead and the Prairie Wolves would never lead again.
