“Roseau jumped out to a fast start and we were never able to recover,” said Head Coach Hannah Clark of Hillcrest.  “Their defensive pressure made it tough to get into any sort of offensive rhythm.  I was proud of the girls’ effort.  They never gave up and played hard until the final buzzer.  We ran into a great Roseau team and our girls will use this experience to get better for our upcoming games.”

The Comets were led by Madison Ballweg (12 points, 4 steals), Ella Knutson (7 points, 10 rebounds), Ruby Peterson (6 points), Regan Wiertzema (2 points, 5 rebounds) and Natalie Zwiers (5 rebounds).

“I thought Madi Ballweg did a great job today attacking their defense,” noted Clark.  “She played hard on both ends of the floor.  Ella Knutson and Ruby Peterson also gave a solid effort, showing a lot of grit and hustle throughout the game.”
