As the season has progressed, head coach Jenny Kovall has been seeing marked improvement in her Lady Eagles. Early season problems with shooting percentage and turnovers were contrasted with solid defense and enthusiasm, signs that more wins may be on the horizon.

On January 23, the ladies hosted Bigfork. Despite a one-point halftime lead, inconsistent play in the waning minutes let the win slip away and the Huskies took the contest 66-54.

"We played 30 minutes of good ball, but like many games this year, we had a hard time putting together a complete game," commented Coach Kovall.

Scoring was solid across the board with Keyanna Gross dropping 12 points to go along with a dozen boards; Chloe Wolske added 12 points and four steals; Kali Wake put down 11 points and 10 rebounds; Angie Rajdl chipped in 11 points and six boards and Kristine Johnson contributed eight points and four take-aways.

The Ladies next traveled to East Central in a non-conference match-up to take on the Eagles. Weak shooting contrasted with solid defense to result in a 33-55 East Central victory.

"Again my young team played hard, we were able to get off a lot of good shots in the first half, we're still struggling to get them to drop in," said Coach Kovall.

Wolske led with 10 points; Johnson put down six and added nine steals on defense; Rajdl came down with 10 boards to go with three points and steals.

On Thursday, the girls host Floodwood, and Park Rapids on Monday.[[In-content Ad]]
