The Glidden Ralston Wildcats bounced back from their loss to Woodbine on Tuesday with a solid non-conference win over Madrid Thursday, with Vanessa Koehler leading the charge offensively.
The Wildcats wasted no time getting both their offense and defense fired up in the first quarter. The Tigers were held to a mere four points while the Wildcats brought the heat with 14 points to lead 14-4. Glidden Ralston’s defense allowed a few more points from the Tigers in the second quarter. Madrid’s offense woke up a bit and was able to put up nine points, but the Wildcats stayed ahead by 11 with a lead of 24-13 at halftime. Glidden Ralston’s offense had plenty of playmakers, most notably Paige Klocke who’s been lighting up defenses all season long. She put up another strong performance with 21 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, and two steals.
Vanessa Koehler was the star of the third quarter as the Wildcats’ defense got back to work, limiting what Madrid was able to accomplish. Koehler hit two big three pointers in the final 1:35 of the quarter to give the Wildcats a 20-point lead at 35-15 going into the fourth quarter.
