NASHWAUK- A long bus ride didn’t slow the Timberwolves here on Monday as they speared the Spartans 74-41 to improve to 15-2 on the season.
“We scored 50 points in the first half,” said Head Coach Max Gantt. “We played good defense, knocked down good shots, and took care of the ball.”
Senior Madeline Perry led the team with 22 points, followed by juniors Grace LaTourell with 24 points and Hannah Penke with 18.
Playing at home last Friday, the Timberwolves’ defense kept Duluth Denfeld contained enroute to a 54-19 shellacking.
“Our press and defense were awesome all game,” said Gantt. Ely’s player-on-player defense was especially tight and shut down the Hunters ability to score, especially in the first half. The teams went to the break with Ely up a remarkable 33-3. Denfeld’s only first half basket was a trey at 7:18 into the game.
Denfeld clawed back on scoring in the second half, but couldn’t overcome Ely’s control of the ball.
Penke had 20 points and 3 blocks and Latourell had 18 points and 6 rebounds. Junior Sarah Visser added 5 points to go along with her solid 10 rebounds and 6 steals. Sophomore Clare Thomas added 13 rebounds off the bench as well.
