SWC 66, H-BC 55
It was a tight contest all the way to the end Tuesday, Feb. 8, in Hills.
The Patriots found themselves trailing the Eagles by only one at 33-32 at the half as senior Kenadie Fick (17 points and 6 assists) hit a 35-foot three-pointer at the buzzer.
The three-pointer capped off an 8-0 run by the Lady Pates to end the first half.
Sophomore Brynn Rauk (16 points) hit four three-pointers on the night to help keep the Patriots within striking distance.
The rest of the game stayed mostly within single digits before the Eagles pulled away late to win 66-55.
It was an impressive battle for the Patriots considering they were down four players on the night due to illness.
Sophomore Larissa Steinhoff was able to step up for the Patriots with eight points while junior Olivia Bork added seven of her own.
