LITTLEFORK— Ely senior Erika Mattson poured in 25 points as she helped lead the Timberwolves to a 58-44 win over the Vikings here on Monday.
“This was a good section win for us to start a busy schedule after the break,” said Ely Head Coach Darren Visser. “Littlefork is well coached and our girls were able to withstand several of their runs in the second half to hold on and get a quality win.”
Senior Brielle Kallberg added 18 points toward the Timberwolves’ effort, while senior Winter Sainio added nine points. Freshman Rachel Coughlin chipped in with seven rebounds. Mattson helped Ely’s cause by hitting pay dirt on ten of 12 free throws. Kallberg went four for five from the charity stripe.
“We did a very good job of shooting free throws, allowing us to maintain our lead at the end of the game,” said Visser. The Wolves were set to travel to Grand Marais on Saturday to take on Cook County. They’ll be back home next Monday to host Northeast Range. Tip-off is set for 7:15 p.m.
