SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — Macy Sievers recorded a triple-double with 25 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists to help Dordt (Iowa) become back-to-back NAIA champions with an 82-73 victory over Indiana Wesleyan on Tuesday night. Sievers secured her 10th rebound and the triple-double in the closing seconds. Lilli Frasure made a layup with 50 seconds left to pull IWU within 78-73. The Wildcats elected not to foul and Sievers drove into the lane and passed it out to a wide-open Willow Bleeker, who missed a 3-pointer off the back iron. But Sievers grabbed the long rebound, her 10th, and was fouled with 17.9 remaining. She made both free throws for a seven-point lead. Sievers was 7 of 8 from the free-throw line, including six straight in the final minute. Dordt (35-2) was appearing in its third national championship game in four years — all under coach Bill Harmsen. The Defenders improved to 19-3 all-time at the NAIA championship, including their first title last year against Providence (Mont.). Gracie Schoonhoven added 19 points, Janie Van Donge had 15 and Olivia Harazin 10 for Dordt. Maddie Lawrence led Indiana Wesleyan (34-3) with 17 points and Jade Nutley added 15.
