GIRLS' BASKETBALL ROUNDUP: Arrows pierce Eagles, 58-35; Luverne defeats Edgerton

PIPESTONE — In a game that was much closer than the final score indicates, the improving Windom High School girls’ basketball team gave the powerful Pipestone Area Arrows a strong battle Thursday night.

But late runs in each half helped the Arrows (13-2, 7-2) claim a 58-35 Southwest Conference victory.

Leading PA were Brooke Woelber (18 points, seven rebounds), Bailey Bouman (14 points), Megan Vanderpoel (nine points, nine rebounds) and Bree Woelber (seven points, 10 steals).

Lindsay Elston and Makenzie Lovell (seven rebounds) each scored nine points for the well-balanced Eagles (7-12, 3-5), while Alii Holt contributed eight points and six rebounds.

Windom trailed by just 12 points (45-33) with under six minutes to play. But the Arrows finished the game on a 13-2 run.

PA hosts the top-ranked Class A team in South Dakota Saturday night, when the undefeated Dell Rapids Quarriers travel across the border.

Windom’s next game is not until Feb. 6, when the Eagles host Redwood Valley.
