“Solid team effort tonight,” said Underwood Head Coach Brian Hovland.  “We were able to turn our defensive intensity into offensive points. I thought we did a great job of running the floor and pushing the ball with the pass.”

Leaders for the Rockets were Brooke Hovland with 25 points on 9-of-13 (69%) shooting, and Kayla Rocholl with 19 points.  Hovland came up with 10 steals and had 4 rebounds.  Rocholl added 4 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 assists.  Liz Lukken had a team high 6 rebounds and also blocked two shots.

Hillcrest was led by Mackenzie Foss (14 pts, 4 rebounds), Madison Foss (4 pts, 2 assists) and Anna Rasmussen (4 pts, 6 rebounds).

“We really struggled against Underwood’s defensive pressure,” stated Hillcrest Head Coach Hannah Clark. “We had multiple turnovers that led to easy buckets for the Rockets. Mackenzie Foss did a nice job attacking the basket and getting to the free throw line.”

Underwood (4-5) will host Ortonville at 2:30pm Saturday.

Hillcrest (0-4) will play at Rothsay on Tuesday night.
