“We got very lucky tonight,” stated Underwood Head coach Brian Hovland. “With that being said we gutted out another win. Kayla Rocholl (20 points, 8 rebounds, 6 steals) had a nice game and hit a huge 3 pointer to put us ahead by 1 with about 10 seconds left after B-E missed the front end of a 1 and 1. Brandon Evansville got a shot off but we were able to get the rebound and hold the ball. We need to do some things better and one of them is free throws. We went 9-of-20 from the charity stripe and in close games like this each of those free throws importance becomes compounded.” 

Morgan Evavold added 9 points and 10 rebounds for the Rockets. 

Mikenna Pattrin led three Chargers in double figures with 15 points. Madison Quinn and Sara Jacobson each scored 11 points. 

“This was a great game by both teams,” said Brandon-Evansville Head Coach Sam Lange. “We battled back and forth all night and I am very proud of the way we played. They made a big shot at the end and we came up just short tonight.” 

The Chargers (14-6) will host Ashby on Thursday night and then will travel to Underwood for a rematch with the Rockets on Monday night. 

The Rockets (16-2) will host Parkers Prairie on Thursday before hosting the Chargers next Monday.
