The West Central Area Lady Knights traveled to Henning to take on the Hornets Thursday night in a section showdown.  The game started out with Henning building an 18-10 lead.  The Knights would cut the deficit to 19-22 in favor of the Hornets.  After trading a few baskets the score was 21-24 and then the Hornets went on a 19-4 run and lead at halftime 43-25.  The second half, the Knights had cut the lead to an 11 point margin.  The Hornets went on a run of their own and finished the game strong winning 72-48. 

The Lady Knights were led by Lexi Bright with 12 points, 6 steals, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks.  Elizabeth Rustan had 9 points, 4 rebounds and a steal.  Kaitlyn Hansen put in 8 points, grabbed 3 rebounds, stole the ball 2 times and added an assist.  Teagan Nelson had 5 points, 2 steals, 2 rebounds and an assist.  Hailey Bennett had 5 points and 2 rebounds.  Kaylyn Ulrich had 2 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.  Claire Stark had 2 points, 5 rebounds and a block.  Ireland Winter had 2 points on the night. Brynn Fernholz had 2 points and a steal.  Halle Foslien had a point and a rebound.  Kennedy Ulrich had 2 rebounds and an assist. 


Coach Eric Schoenbauer said, “This was a positive game in the fact that it showed us things we need to clean up.  Our effort is consistently there, but doing the little things consistently wasn’t there tonight. A step slow on a rotation and a missed box out can lead to easy chances.  We will learn from it and move on to the next game.” 

The Lady Knights host the Long Prairie-Grey Eagle Thunder Saturday night for a non-conference matchup. 

Henning (10-1) will play Wadena-Deer Creek at Pillager on Saturday afternoon and will travel o New York Mills on Thursday.
