MAYVILLE, N.D. – The Minot State women's basketball team put their grit on display on Friday night, storming back from a 28–27 halftime deficit to earn a 72–49 win over Mayville State in exhibition play.

After a slow first half, the Beavers found their rhythm on both ends of the court, outscoring the Comets 45–21 in the second half to secure the victory. Lara Dobbins led the way with 17 points, knocking down five three-pointers, while Taryn Hamling added 16 points and four assists. Maya Aguilar chipped in a double-double effort with 10 points and 10 rebounds, helping the Beavers dominate and turn the momentum after the break.

Minot State shot 43 percent from the field and 33 percent from beyond the arc while holding Mayville State to just 30 percent shooting in the game. The Beavers' second-half momentum sets the tone as they continue their exhibition competition Monday at Montana State.
