MOOSE LAKE— Four Ely players hit double digits here this past Saturday as the Timberwolves rebounded from a Thursday night heartbreaker to top Moose Lake/Willow River 63-46. The win improves Ely’s record to 12-5.
Amelia Penke drained four three-pointers as she led the Wolves with 16 points on the night. Senior Clare Thomas was a beast on the boards as she tallied 15 rebounds along with 12 points, including a trey, to notch a double-double. Audrey Kallberg just missed a double-double, posting 13 points and nine boards. Zoe Mackenzie connected on two from beyond the arc as she added 13 to Ely’s cause. Lydia Schultz had a strong overall performance with nine points, seven steals, four rebounds and four assists.
The Wolves connected on eight of nine free throws to further help their cause.
In a makeup game Thursday night in Bigfork, the Huskies’ defense kept the Wolves under wraps as they edged Ely 41-39 in a game that was tight all night.
The Wolves were ice cold from the field, connecting on just ten of 36 shots from two-point range. They also missed three-of-four free throws, which could have made the difference.
Schultz was the only Ely player in double digits, as she connected on three treys on her way to 11 points and six assists. Mackenzie added nine points and Kallberg posted seven along with ten rebounds. Thomas and Penke each added five points.
The Wolves were set to visit Carlton on Friday night. They’ll host Deer River on Tuesday.
