IOWA FALLS, IOWA -- Ashjahnelle Wilson pumped in 27 points and snared 17 rebounds to help the Ellsworth women's basketball team to a win in their first postseason test on Sunday.  The Panthers routed Marshalltown CC, 70-41, at Dittmer Gym to earn a spot in the Region XI quarterfinals, where they will meet top-seeded Kirkwood CC on Wednesday night in Cedar Rapids.

Shamika Maria backed up Wilson with a near double-double for ECC, 16 points and 9 rebounds.  Andrea Aragon Garcia also reached double digits with 12 points.  Helping set up their teammates were Key'Lajaha Jefferson Putman and Ingrid Martinez Guillen, who combined for 13 assists.

The Panthers led from wire-to-wire, up 13-5, 28-18 and 46-29 at the quarter breaks as they defeated MCC for the 3rd time this season.  Marshalltown hit just 2-of-20 3-point attempts and only 23.6 percent of their total shots.  Ellsworth went to the free throw line a season-high 30 times and their 47 rebounds were the second-most this year.
