ELY- In a hard-fought contest against two of the best girls teams in the region, the Rangers came out on top here on Monday, 76-58.
The score obscures a remarkable game for the Timberwolves as they mounted an impressive rally against a formidable opponent.
A quick start by the Rangers left the Wolves in a deep hole early. Barely five minutes in, they found themselves down 19-6 and trailed 42-24 at the half.
But the Wolves refused to say die and slowly clawed their way back into the game as they adjusted their offenses on the fly.
The Rangers kept up the pressure, however, and proved too much for the Wolves playing on Ely’s home hardwood.
Senior Madeline Perry once again led the team with 20 points, followed by junior Hannah Penke with 14 and junior Sarah Visser with 10.
The Wolves were set to hit the road Thursday, to play Mesabi East. They’ll be in Floodwood on Saturday to take on the Polar Bears. They’ll be back home on Monday to take on the Chisholm Bluestreaks.
