When the Jimmie and Viking women play, the first 39 minutes are almost irrelevant.

No matter the records or rankings of the two teams, the game is going to the wire.

It did again Wednesday night and for the second time in 10 days Jamestown College survived.

Kellie Schuneman made 1 of 2 free throws with 5 seconds left. The Vikings, who led by four midway through the second half, had one last chance, but turned it over as time expired, preserving a 49-47 JC win.

"It doesn't matter if its one point, two points, or 20 points at this point," JC coach Greg Ulland said. "As long as we have one more when the buzzer sounds, we're good."

It won't go down as the prettiest of their 22 wins, but that's OK.

"They're a good defensive team. They execute well," Ulland said of the Vikings. "Clearly, we do have to shoot the ball better. 0-for-10 (on three-pointers) in the second half is unacceptable. Somehow we were able to survive it."

Both teams rank in the top 20 in the NAIA in defense and it showed.

The 11th-ranked Jimmies (22-3) missed 31 shots and made 15. They also missed 10 free throws.
