Atlantic At Kuemper
Atlantic 63 Kuemper 33
The game was tight at the end of the 1st quarter as Kuemper scored first on a bucket by Karly Baumhover but then needed to rally after Atlantic went on a 14-0 run. Kuemper responded with 3’s from Kyndal Hilgenberg, Brooklyn Gifford and a few runners in the lane and they were back in it at 14-10 late in the 1st quarter. Atlantic scored to make it 16-10 at the end of the 1st quarter and opened the game back up with an 8-0 run to start the 2nd quarter. The Trojans were creating turnovers with their 1-2-2 three quarter trap and got scoring help from Jada Jensen who had 10 in the 1st half to go with 13 from Haley Rasmussen. Kuemper pulled within 26-17 but never got any closer. The Trojans led by 17 at half and were up 25 after three quarters.
Kora Thomsen didn’t lead Kuemper in scoring or rebounding but she provided a spark as they were a little slow early in the game and she played hard all game still diving on the floor in the closing minutes of the game. She finished with 2 points and 3 rebounds. Catherine Mayhall had a team high 9 points while Brooklyn Gifford finished with 7. Akuet Malek added 6 points and 11 rebounds.

The Carroll Tigers were able to pick up a great win to back back to an even season record against the Carlisle Wildcats Friday night. Early on, it was hard to tell that the Tigers would go on to score 51 points as they started off this bout with a 8-4 lead after the first quarter. With 3:39 left in the game, the score was at 3-2 in favor of the Tigers with Laura Sweeney scoring the first point of the game with a free throw. The 3-2 zone defense of the Wildcats made it almost impossible for the Tigers to score. The Tigers would pick up the pace of the game in the second quarter, and so would the Wildcats. The Tigers were only able to outscore the Wildcats by three points in this quarter, but held on to the 27-19 lead at halftime. The struggle for both teams in this half was turnovers. Both were unable to really score off of steals or would be unable to keep control of the ball while going down for a layup or the score. The Tigers were forced to the free throw line seven times in the first half, scoring seven points off of those attempts.
In the second half, the Tigers would dominate from here on out, not allowing the Wildcats to score in double digits in the third quarter. The Tigers started the third quarter with a 9-0 run before the Wildcats were able to bring in their only score of the quarter, a three-pointer from Caylin Furnal. The Wildcats struggled to score once again in the fourth quarter as the Tigers continued to pack on the points. The Tigers ended the final quarter with 10 points and walked away with the 51-31 win over the Carlisle Wildcats.
Individually for the Tigers Kennedy Lein would end her night with a double-double posting 16 points, 10 rebounds, and four steals. Also for the Tigers, Hannah Jorgensen and Camryn Schable would both score nine points. The Tigers improve to 5-5 on the season as the Wildcats fall to 1-7.

A tough night offensively for the Crusaders started in the first quarter, where they were held to four points as the Tigers scored fives times more than that with 21.

The Crusaders would outscore the Tigers 11-6 in this quarter, but would still be down 27-15 at halftime. Crusaders Head Coach Kaitlyn McAlister says the struggle for her team in that first quarter was field goals as they were unable to sink a single bucket.
Back from halftime, the Crusaders would once again win the quarter by a score of 11-8 in the third. The combination of Breeley Clayburg’s rebound game and Brunn Bass’s scoring game brought the Crusaders back from an ugly first quarter into outscoring the Tigers in two quarters.

In the final quarter of play, the Crusaders were unable to mount the large comeback being outscored 9-8 in the fourth quarter and losing 44-34.
