The Central Missouri Jennies basketball team let a late lead slip away and fell at Pittsburg State 60-58 on Wednesday night. This was the MIAA opener for both teams.

The teams battled back and forth during the first half with neither team leading by more than three points before the Jennies pushed the lead to eight on a three-pointer from Kelce Goebel. UCM led by six at the break, 32-26.
The Gorillas cut the lead to four at the beginning of the second half, but the Jennies went on a 6-0 run to extend their lead to 10 at 38-28. PSU responded with an 8-0 run to cut the lead back to two. The Jennies pushed the lead back to nine at 54-45 with 7:07 to play, but the Gorillas ended the game on a 15-4 run. UCM still led 58-54 with just over two minutes remaining, but couldn’t close out the game.
