Detroit Lakes hosted Fergus Falls in girls’ basketball on Friday night with the Lakers taking a 26-20 halftime lead and going on to defeat the Otters by the final score of 54-35.  The Lakers capitalized on 21 Fergus Falls turnovers in the game.

“We were reckless with the ball tonight and it cost us,” said Fergus Falls Head Coach Josh Steer.  “We have been falling into a bad pattern where we give up a late run in the first half which puts us behind and makes it tough to get back in the game.  That happened again tonight.  It was a quick turn around after our road game at Rocori last night and we didn’t handle it well.”

Brynn Sternberg led the Otters with 14 points and 5 rebounds.  Cyntreya Lockett added 9 points and 5 boards.

Fergus Falls (5-13) saw their losing streak reach ten games.  They will play at Sauk Rapids on Tuesday, host Little Falls on Thursday and travel to St. Cloud on Friday.
