WAGNER TRAVELS TO TYNDALL AND BRING HOME THE WIN 60-54

The Lady Raiders traveled to Tyndall to take on Bon Homme last Friday night in girls basketball action. Wagner would jump out to an early 2414 lead firing on all cylinders. Bon Homme wouldn’t go away quietly out scoring the Raiders 42-35 in the final three quarters as the Raiders would escape with a 60-54 victory. The Raiders would shoot 29--53 from the field for 45% while Bon Homme would go 18-47 for 38%. The Cavs would convert on 11-13 from the charity stripe while Wagner would go 5-6. Wagner would win the battle of the boards 27-22. Both teams would commit 14 turnovers. Macy Koupal would reach the 1,000 point barrier in her career with 21 points, grabbing 5 boards and dishing out 2 assists. Ashlyn Koupal would also net 21 points, 8 boards, block 4 shots, and come away with 2 steals. Braxton Nedved would finish with 8 points and dish out 5 assists. Lydia Yost would finish with 6 points, 4 boards, and also dish out 5 assists. Hayden Fischer would round out the scoring with 4 points, 5 boards, and 2 assists. “This was a game of runs. We came out and responded well to the junk defenses they threw at us early. Then we got hesitant at attacking the basket and became complacent on offense as they just packed it in the paint. We did a great job of holding our composer and executed down the stretch to keep the lead to 9 until the final seconds. Finding ways to win games is always a plus and the girls did that tonight.”
