On Friday night the girls would play their third game in four nights as they hosted Ellsworth. The Panthers came into the game with a 6-4 record and a 4-3 record in the Middle Border Conference.

Prescott’s defense was again excellent to start the game. They forced turnovers on Ellsworth’s first three possessions. Dalman, Benck, and Posthuma all made shots and three minutes into the game it was 7-0 Prescott. A three-point play by Benck gave Prescott their first double digit lead of the game at 18-7 a little more than five minutes into the first half. The Panthers then made a 7-2 run and force a Prescott timeout with 9:19 left first half and the score 20-14 Cardinals. After the timeout, Ellsworth would close to 20-18 and would hang around most of the rest of the first half. Prescott closed out the half on a 9-1 over the final 1:54, capped off by a Lenz three-point basketball right before the horn. Prescott was up 42-29 at the half.

The Cardinal depth started to really show up after baskets by Boatman and Goehring, Prescott led 53-37. This was the second game in the last three where Goehring would score double digits off of the bench.

Coach Radloff said, “Brynley gives us freshness off the bench. She is a hustler and having her come in a score can really give us a lift.”

Prescott won the game 93-49 to sweep Ellsworth this season.
