Trinity girls put on strong showing in Sheridan

SHERIDAN

In the past week, the Trinity Lutheran girls basketball team has worked on different defenses in practice — and it showed Monday.

The Cougars put on a strong showing against Marquette Catholic with a 45-30 win in the first round of the Sheridan Tournament.

Throughout the game, the Cougars used different defenses to keep Marquette to less than double-digits in points in the first three quarters.

In the first quarter, the Cougars jumped out early, amassing a 14-3 lead.

And the Cougars didn’t look back as they snapped a four-game losing streak.

Freshman Maddie Roark led the Cougars with 21 points.

While she didn’t score any points, senior Cougars forward Sydney Stuckwisch made her presence known with nine of her team’s 55 rebounds.

The Cougars were a force on the boards, as they out-rebounded Marquette 55-31.

Playing with a full-court press for a majority of the game, the Cougars also caused 34 Marquette turnovers.

The Cougars will play Franklin County in the semifinals at 10 a.m. today.
