“We came out right from the start and established our defensive pressure on them in the full court,” commented Wheaton/Herman-Norcross Assistant Coach Corey Spilde.  “Our offense in the half court was a little sluggish, but we made up for it, getting to the foul line 23 times.  Ellissa Rinke had a fantastic final home game, nearly getting a triple-double.  She had 13 points, 11 rebounds, and 7 assists.  Julia Schmidt shot the ball very well and scored 23 points, but also added 6 rebounds and 6 steals.  Brylie Schultz followed her up with 19 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 steals.  We now face a gritty CGB team who upset us last year in the playoffs.  We look to play a great game, with hopes of moving on.”

Kelly Erickson led Ortonville with a double-double, scoring 12 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. She was joined in double figures by Kendall Gronholz with 12 points.  Taylor Ross led the team with 3 assists.
