The JV Lady Marauders fell to the Goodrich Martians 18-34 to move to 14-4 (10-0 MMAC) on the season with one game remaining. A strong start by the Marauders in the 1st and early 2nd quarters could not be sustained throughout the night.

"We did a good job early on of getting good looks and putting some pressure on [Goodrich], but didn't follow through for the whole game," state Coach Belill. "Give Goodrich all the credit in the world - they adjusted well to what we threw at them while we didn't."

A 11-4 lead early in the 2nd quarter dissipated on the Marauders as mental mistakes plagued them for the remainder of the half - eventually seeing the Martians score on a last second layup to take the lead 12-11 into the half. Rebounding issues reared their head in the 1st half as well, with the Martians pulling down 10 offensive rebounds.

The 2nd half saw the Marauders pick their effort back up, but the Martians extended their lead with a 12-7 scoring advantage in the 3rd quarter before slamming shut any OE chances at a comeback by outscoring the Marauders 10-0 in the final stanza.

Maddie Thornton led OE in scoring with 6 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 steals. Aubrey Kurka (4 rebounds) and Trinity Ziola (2 rebounds, 2 steals) both added 5 points each, while Tava Kvalevog capped the scoring with 2 points and 4 rebounds.

The JV ladies finish out the season at home this Thursday when they face league rival New Lothrop. Game time is scheduled for 5:30 PM.
