The Falcons started off well in Saturday’s contest, but it wasn’t until about halfway through the first half that the Falcons would really take off. Brittany Gregorich drained a three-point shot with 11:36 left in the first half to put the Falcons up by eight. Nikki Guhr followed that up with a steal and layup on the ensuing possession to pull the Falcons ahead by double digits. The two teams would exchange hoops throughout the first half and the Falcons took a 40-29 lead into halftime.
The Falcons would pull away little by little in the second half. With 14:39 remaining in the game Katie Theisen hit a three-point shot from downtown to put the Falcons up by 20 points. Taylor House’s layup with 12:59 left put the Falcons up by 25 points. With 5:36 left in the game Jenna Hanson would hit a three-point shot to put the Falcons up by 34, their largest lead of the night.
The Falcons played a very impressive game to snapped their two game losing streak. The Falcons shot 50 percent from the field, including five field goals from beyond the arc.
House led the Falcons in scoring with a career-high 21 points coming off the bench. She also added six rebounds an assist and a steal. Brittany Gregorich also scored in double figures with 13 points in the contest to go along with nine rebounds and six assists. Many other players added to the scoring including Tiffany Gregorich and Maranda Dohrn with nine and eight points respectively. Kelli Hilt added four points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals.
