Turnovers, fouls hurt SW girls

By Becky Walz,

A slow second half hurt the South Winn girls’ basketball team (6-14, 6-10 UIC) as the Warriors hosted MFL MarMac (13-7, 11-5 UIC) Friday night, falling 54-37.
The teams were nearly three minutes into the game before the first points fell through the hoop in the form of Morgan Kleve free throws. Four early SW fouls, two each on Morgan Kleve and Josie Tieskoetter, forced the Warriors to play with a younger squad on the floor, but kept ahead of the Bulldogs 6-5 after the first eight minutes. MFL MarMac built a slight 19-17 halftime lead and continued to roll in the second half.

   Despite foul trouble, Tieskoetter and Kleve paced the Warriors with 11 points apiece. Karissa Wenthold came off the bench for seven points and five steals, while freshmen Alyssa Holthaus and Ella Theis were stellar under the basket with five and four rebounds, respectively.
   The Warriors have one final game before setting out into the postseason realm as they travel to Sumner-Fredericksburg for a junior varsity/varsity night Thursday, Feb. 9, at 5 p.m. The JV will play two quarters, followed by the varsity competition at the S-F Middle School in Fredericksburg.
