The Hancock girls’ basketball team made 13-of-24 shots from 3-point range on Thursday night as they remained unbeaten in Little Eight Conference play with a 78-73 victory over the Underwood Rockets.  The game was tied 38-38 at the half.  “We need to do a better job of defending the 3-pointer,” commented Underwood Head Coach Brian Hovland.  “Disappointing loss, but we played a very good team tough on the road.”

 

Liz Lukken led the Rockets with 25 points.  Kallyn Grove registered a double-double (13 points, 15 rebounds) and recorded 6 blocks.  Mily Albjerg and Ezrah Baker pitched in with 8 apiece.

No Hancock stats were reported.
