SAINT PAUL, MINN.—The opportunities were there for the Hamline University women's basketball team as they tied for a season-high 66 attempts, but didn't capitalize in a 67-51 loss to St. Olaf at Hutton Arena on Wednesday night.

The Pipers fall to 10-11, 8-9 MIAC, while St. Olaf improves to 4-16, 3-13 MIAC.
