The Underwood girls’ basketball team scored the final 13 points of the game on Saturday afternoon as they advanced to the Section 6A semifinals with a 52-39 win over the Breckenridge Cowgirls.  

With the game tied at 39-39 and just over five minutes to play, Liz Lukken scored the first 7 points of the 13 point run to get the Rockets on their way to the win.  Lukken finished with 20 points, 4 assists, 4 steals and 5 rebounds.  Kallyn Grove had 12 points, 7 rebounds and a pair of blocked shots.  Ezrah Baker finished with 8 points and 4 boards.

“Defensively we played really well today, I thought we stuck to the script and we did what we needed to do to advance past a very good team,” commented Underwood Head Coach Brian Hovland.  “Liz had a tremendous second half scoring 16 of her game high 20 points.  Perham has an outstanding facility and our fans were awesome and I’m excited that we get the opportunity to play Wednesday back there.”

Breckenridge was led by Camryn Kaehler with a double-double (12 points, 10 rebounds).  Ana Erickson and Carcie Materi added 9 points each.  The Cowgirls end their season with a final record of 12-13.

Underwood (22-3) will now face New York Mills at 7:00pm Wednesday in Perham.
