Allison Marso poured in 23 points and Grace VanErp added 19 as the Battle Lake girls basketball team handed the Hillcrest lady Comets a 53-35 loss at the Student Activities Center on the campus of Hillcrest Lutheran Academy in Fergus Falls.

“In the first half we played a little too much 1 on 1 basketball,” said Hillcrest Head Coach Hannah Clark. “I thought we did a better job in the second half of moving the ball around and getting everyone involved. Mackenzie Foss (19 points, 3 steals, 4 rebounds) played really well on the offensive end had some nice finishes around the rim. Molly McGuire (4 points) hit a couple shots from the outside and that helped open things up in the middle. Allison Marso for Battle Lake played a great game. She shot the ball extremely well and it was hard to slow her down.”

Olivia Foss (5 points, 3 assists, 3 steals) and Anna Rasmussen (10 rebounds) also contributed for the Comets.

The Comets will seek to end an eight game losing streak when they host Wheaton/Herman-Norcross on Thursday night.

Battle Lake snapped a four game losing streak with the win. They will host Rothsay on Thursday night.
