Clarah Soukup would add 3 points off the bench while Hannah Holzbauer would finish with 2 points, 6 boartds, and dish out a team high 7 assists. “Another really good opponent who was playing great. We were firing on almost every cylinder tonight. We needed to control the glass and we out rebounded them by 27. We needed to keep them out of the paint and we did that after the first quarter. We only let 2 people score the second half which is phenomenal team defense. We also didn’t score the first 3 minutes of the second half which we have to be able to be a little more efficient on the offensive end. We got some good looks just didn’t hit but then put up 29 the rest of the way and got running clock on a team that was 9-2 and has beat some really good teams. We had a lot of girls do all the little things that really don’t show up on stat sheets and that’s why the margin of victory was what it was. Great team win against a very good opponent!”
