Elsa Retzlaff came off the bench to score 19 points and also had 6 steals.  Ella Knutson finished with 13 points and 8 rebounds, Lizzy Olstad added 11 points and Madi Foss had 6 points and 5 rebounds.  Stella Moline also chipped in with 5 points.

“This was a good team win for our girls,” said Hillcrest Head Coach Hannah Clark. “They played hard and used defensive pressure to create some easy buckets on the offensive end.  It was a good shooting night for our girls and they shared the ball nicely. Maddie Ballweg led us in scoring with 29. I thought she had a very well-rounded game.”

Ortonville was led by Karyn Gronholz with 15 points.

Hillcrest (15-7, 10-5 LEC) will host Underwood on Tuesday and Battle Lake on Thursday in a pair of Little Eight Conference games.

Ortonville will host KMS on Thursday and will play at Central Minnesota Christian on Friday.
