Heitkamp pours in career-high 37 for Capital (02/18/06)

Collegiate Check-up

The last time the Crusaders were on the road Sara Heitkamp engineered the greatest comeback in NCAA Division III history. This time all she did was score a career high.

Heitkamp, who graduated from Fort Recovery in 2002, posted 37 points as her 20th-ranked Capital University women’s basketball team defeated Mount Union 60-55 Feb. 11.

She had 28 points Feb. 1 at Wilmington when she led the team to victory after trailing by 28 points, the largest comeback ever recorded in Division III.

The senior guard led the Crusaders (21-3) back from a six-point deficit in the first half, scoring 21 of her career-best total in the second half against Mount Union. She finished 10-of-15 from the field, including 4-of-6 from 3-point range, and made 13-of-15 free throws. She also had six rebounds and four assists.

Her previous high scoring total came in December with 36 points in a double-overtime win over Mt. Vernon Nazarene.

Heitkamp also scored 11 points in Wednesday’s 65-45 victory over Marietta, which clinched second place in the Ohio Athletic Conference for Capital. She added eight rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block.

Despite his team-leading point total, the Ancilla College men’s basketball team couldn’t find enough offense as it fell 81-67 to Kalamazoo Valley Community College Feb. 10.

The junior was also in on four third-place relay finishes for the Little Giants, earning himself All-NCAC honors. He teamed with Michael Hewitt, Blaine Cooper-Surma and Jordan Blackwell in two of those relays, finishing the 200 freestyle in 1-minute, 26.5 seconds and the 400 freestyle in 3:11.45.

Weaver, Hewitt and Blackwell joined Brent Graham for third in the 400 medley relay in 3:35.14, and Weaver, Hewitt, Cooper-Surma and Jordan Extine were third in the 200 medley relay in 1:37.71. Wabash finished behind Denison and Kenyon in all four of those relays.

He reached the wall in 5:04.54 to place 24th in the 500 freestyle.
