“We got off to a good start, knocking down some shots, however, they had a good run late in the half to build their lead,” noted Head Coach Josh Steer of the Otters.  “We finished with a small run to get to within eleven by halftime.  We couldn’t buy a basket to start the second half and seemed to be a step-and-a-half behind on defense.  Give credit to their offense as they moved the ball well.  They are a strong, athletic team and they played very well tonight.”

Mya Tautges led Brainerd with 13 points.  Addison Bjorklund and Brook Sandberg added 9 points each.  Brained shot 46% from the field.

Ruby Ellison had 11 points to lead the Otters.  Carlee Hirst contributed 9 points and 5 rebounds off the bench.  Brynn Sternberg was held to 6 points, but led the team with 8 rebounds and 4 assists.  Bella Anderson added 6 boards.

Fergus Falls fell to 13-8 overall and 4-5 in Central Lakes Conference play.  The Otters will host St. Cloud on Friday night.

Brainerd goes to 16-4 overall and 7-3 in CLC action.
