The Underwood girls’ basketball team won a Little Eight Conference contest against Battle Lake on Tuesday night, handing the Battlers a 69-55 loss on the Rockets home floor.  Underwood led at the half, 35-26.

Liz Lukken (23 points, 4 rebounds, 4 steals), Mo Bugbee (19 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals), Mia Blaskowski (10 points, 4 rebounds) and Ezrah Baker (8 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals) were the statistical leaders for Underwood.

Underwood made 16-of-22 free throws in the game and shot 47% (25-53) from the field.

“This was a great game where both teams fought hard defensively,” commented Underwood Head Coach Brian Hovland.  “I’m super proud of how our girls worked hard and stuck to the game plan.  Mia came off the bench and gave us a great boost in the first half.”

Underwood (15-3, 11-0 LEC) will try to complete a perfect Little Eight Conference season when they play at Hillcrest on Thursday night.  They will hit the road again Friday as they travel to Twin Valley to face Norman County East/Ulen-Hitterdal.

Battle Lake (13-6, 8-2 LEC) will host Wheaton/Herman-Norcross on Friday night.
