The girls not only beat the Wildcats, they handled the Wildcats tonight in Sauk Centre.
New London-Spicer, a storied program in the West Central Conference since joining the league in 1983, got off to a sluggish start and couldn't muster much of anything on offense. Thanks in large part to Sauk's impressive defensive effort. Jena Klaphake and Liz Ellens, once again, proved that keeping opponents from scoring is just as important as scoring.
Sauk also handled the Wildcats press with great ball handling and passing, giving the Wildcats,and their coach, fits. In fact, their coach got "T'd" up late in the second quarter.
Late in the game, ahead by a healthy margin, Sauk moved the ball efficiently around the perimeter. When it came time to score, they called on Macy Weller and Ashley Gruber. Weller was a force down low and Gruber was on the receiving end of a couple great feeds that she converted for big baskets throughout the night.
In the end, it was an all around solid effort that led to double-digit win.
The win improved Sauk to 1-1 in WCCN play.
Which keeps them in the hunt for a conference title.
