GALENA (KANSAS) 47, COLLEGE HEIGHTS 43
GALENA, Kan. — The Cougars suffered a close loss to the Bulldogs from Southeast Kansas.
“I was pleased with our effort and intensity tonight,” College Heights coach John Blankenship said. “Other than a few break downs, we played good team defense tonight. Unfortunately, those few break downs were costly in a close game. Mia Sarwinski is a great player. She is so quick and strong, which makes her very hard to defend.”
Blankenship noted his team had its chances.
“We were 4-for-16 from the free throw line, including 1-for-6 in the fourth quarter,” he said. “Galena, on the other hand, was 6-for-7 in the fourth quarter and that was the difference in the game.”
Libby Fanning recorded a double-double for College Heights with 14 points and 17 rebounds.
Also for the Cougars, Jayli Johnson had 10 points and three assists, Lauren Ukena compiled three points, five steals and two assists, Maddy Colin contributed four points and seven boards and Ava Lett scored five points.
Sarwinski scored 23 points for Galena.
College Heights (4-3) hosts Diamond on Friday.
