Tori Ratz tied a team record with 8 made 3-point field goals on Thursday night as the Otters dominated the Moorhead Spuds with a final score of 83-48. Ratz made 8-of-10 3’s and scored a game high 28 points.  The Otters connected on 13-of-22 3’s (59%) and shot 60% (33-55) overall.

The Otters went on a 20-2 run to establish a 27-12 first half lead and extended their lead to 49-24 at the half.  Their largest lead of the night was forty points.

Ellie Colbeck was also in double figures with 20 points.  All eleven Otters scored in the game with Paige Pearson adding 8 and Logan Strom finishing with 6.  Rebound leaders were Ratz, Colbeck and Hannah Polejewski with 4 each.  Colbeck dished out 9 assists and added 3 steals.  Strom had 4 assists.

“We had the ball moving tonight and that led to a lot of good assisted baskets,” commented Fergus Falls Head Coach Brad Strand.  “I thought we adjusted well on the boards after a slow start and it was great to see all 11 girls score and get considerable minutes on the floor.  I love the team chemistry when everyone is into the game.  It was a great team effort by the Otters.”

Samantha Zimmerman led Moorhead with 13 and Grace Perry finished with 10.

Fergus Falls (10-3, 7-2 CLC) will host Rocori next Tuesday night.
