Audubon At IKM-Manning
Audubon 46
IKM-Manning 31
Audubon never trailed as they won for the 5th time in their last 6 games and snapped IKM-Manning two game win streak. The Wheelers went ahead 4-2 early and build the lead to 14-4 at the end of the 1st quarter on a step back 3 by Aleah Hermansen who came out looking to score early. The Wheelers extended the lead to 14 late in the 1st half as IKM-Manning had a tough night shooting the ball. The Wolves were 13-54 from the field, 3-18 from three point range and only 2-11 from the free throw line. They had good looks inside but couldn’t buy a basket. Wolves Head Coach Gene Rasmussen credited the Wheeler defense on their effort.
IKM-Manning had a chance to cut into the deficit the final few minutes of the 1st half as Aleah Hermansen picked up her 3rd foul and had to go to the bench. Their pressure created a turnover immediately but they only cut the lead to 11 by half. Jaci Christensen took charge inside while Hermansen won on the bench. Christensen tied the school record for rebounds in a game with 19.
Audubon took control again in the 3rd and were up 43-22 before the Wolves pressure picked up the final few minutes and they pulled within 13 at 44-31 but that was as close as they could get.
Aleah Hermansen had a game high 17 points along with 8 rebounds, Jaci Christensen had a school tying record 19 rebounds in a single game to go with 9 pionts. Katelyn Nielsen added 8 points and 7 rebounds for the Wheelers.
Bianca Cadwell nearly had a double-double with 8 points and 10 rebounds, Alexa Ahrenholtz added 9 points, 6 rebounds and 5 steals and Taylor Ferneding added 8 rebounds for IKM-Manning.
Audubon moves to 8-6 overall and 6-4 in the Western Iowa Conference. IKM-Manning falls to 4-8 overall and 4-6 in the Western Iowa. The Wheelers host Underwood on Friday while IKM-Manning entertains AHSTW.

They led 40-37 heading into the 4th after their 20 point 3rd quarter rallied them from down 4 at the break.
