HELENA, Mont. – Dickinson State dropped a Frontier Conference road contest Saturday evening, falling 70-54 to Carroll College at the PE Center.

The Blue Hawks (3-8, 1-6 Frontier) trailed by just two points at halftime, but a difficult third quarter offensively proved costly as Carroll (7-4, 5-2) outscored DSU 23-7 in the frame to take control.

J'Ell Garfield led Dickinson State with 11 points on 4-of-4 shooting, including 3-of-3 from beyond the arc. Kaylin Garza added 12 points, five rebounds, and five blocks, while Kyrie Alldredge finished with eight points and six boards.

However, the Blue Hawks struggled to generate offense in the third quarter, scoring just seven points while Carroll capitalized on turnovers and second-chance opportunities to build a double-digit lead.

Garza's performance highlighted the post play for DSU, and her five blocks helped Dickinson State to a season-high six blocks as a team. Anhelica Shanrock chipped in eight points off the bench, hitting 2-of-3 from deep, while Izzy Kelly added five points in reserve minutes. The DSU bench contributed 23 points in total.
