Riverside At Audubon- Class 1A Region 2
Audubon 71
Riverside 26
Audubon wanted to step on the gas early tonight as they were trying to beat the same team for a third time this season. They were in overdrive from the opening tip as they built a 14-0 lead on their way to a 21-5 lead at the end of the 1st quarter and 42-12 lead at half. The Wheelers had a hard time keeping the momentum going in the 3rd but rebounded in the 4th quarter to cruise to a 45 point win. Aleah Hermansen and Jaci Christensen were sharp either scoring or assisting on all but 2 points in the 1st half.
Christensen scored the first 6 points of the game, with a pair of free throws and two buckets. Aleah Hermansen then scored 10 in a row, with a layup and back-to-back threes. Hermansen closed out her run with a pair of free throws. After a Hermansen assist to Christensen, she fed Sienna Albertsen for a three putting the Wheelers up 21-1. Albertsen’s bucket was the first points scored by someone other than Christensen or Hermansen. The team was outstanding on the defensive end forcing Riverside to turn the ball over on their first-three possessions and four of their first five. Audubon turned those turnovers into points. They also did a great job pushing on the Bulldogs made and missed baskets. The Wheelers were up 21-5 at the end of the 1st quarter, the Wheelers didn’t slow up in the 2nd quarter, outscoring Riverside 21-7. Hermansen dished out 8 assists, with two of those going to Audrey Jensen on back-to-back threes, putting the Wheelers up 27-7. The lead grew to 35-9, on a pair of Hermansen free throws that gave up 1,500 for her career. Madison Steckler got into the passing game, hitting Kennedy Rohe for a bucket, extending the lead to 37-10. A Sienna Albertsen three made it 40-10 and Aleah Hermansen added a bucket, helping the Wheelers lead 42-12 at half.
Riverside answered the bell coming out of the locker room in the 3rd quarter. They executed better, scoring 12 of the first 19 points scored, pulling within 49-24. Hermansen ended the quarter with a three and a pair of free throws, making it a 30 point game, heading to the 4th quarter. The highlight for Audubon in the 3rd was Jaci Christensen pulling down her 12 rebound of the game, giving her 900 for her career. Audubon put the game away early in the 4th, pushing the lead over 35 points, making it a continuous clock.
Aleah Hermansen led the Wheelers with 25 points to go with 10 rebounds and 8 assists. Jaci Christensen had a double-double with 24 points and 14 rebounds. Audrey Jensen and Sienna Albertsen shot the ball well, each hitting three-threes, scoring 9 points each.
