The Culver Bulldogs held South Wasco County to three first-half field goals and rode a 19-6 run in the opening half for a 34-20 win Tuesday in a non-league girls’ basketball matchup played in Maupin.
Still without Ally Muhleman and Allie Noland, the No. 16-ranked Redsides are trying to find other players to pick up the offensive slack, so Kiana Moody, Lindsey Hull and Ana Popchock combined for 14 points on five field goals.
Culver led 7-2 after one quarter and then added a 12-4 spurt to go ahead 19-6 at the break.
Moody sank two baskets in the third quarter for four of the Redsides’ five points, but the Bulldogs broke open their 13-point lead after a 9-5 rally to make it 28-11.
Hull made a field goal, and both Moody and Popchock made two free throws and the trio of Cassie Davis, Jada Myers and Abby Birman hit 1 of 2 free throws each to fuel a 9-6 fourth-quarter rally to end the game.
Moody had six points, Popchock and Hull were good for four apiece and Birman tallied three points, as SWC hit six baskets and converted 2 of 16 free throws.
Culver (7-4) made 14 field goals and went 5 of 12 from the line, with Hannah Lewis scoring 13 points and Irma Retano adding 10.
“The girls played hard and never gave up,” said SWC head coach Bill Mead. “We played hard on defense. The best we played all season. Culver is a solid team. I am so proud of the girls and how much improvement they’ve made.”
In their first game since Dec. 19, Birman scored a season-high 10 points and the Lady Redsides inched past Monument-Dayville by a 33-32 margin Saturday in Maupin.
Monument-Dayville led 5-2 through one period of play, but SWC battled back, as Madisen Davis hit two field goals, and Moody, Birman and Cassie Davis had one basket each to lead an 11-6 run and a 13-11 halftime lead.
The game was tied up at 21 entering the fourth quarter, and SWC (4-4) found just enough offense on three field goals and a 6 of 13 from the line in a 12-11 output to score the one-point victory.
“We had two weeks off from games and it showed,” Mead said. “We played sluggish. A win is a win. Now we move on and get ready for league.”
Madisen Davis scored six points, Hull added five and Cassie Davis and Myers went for four points each for the Redsides, who had 12 field goals and converted 8 of 20 from the free throw line.
The Lady Tigers (5-7) made 10 field goals and shot 9 of 21 from the line, as Danielle Rhoda led the offensive charge with 10 points, Kendall Hettinga was good for eight and Skylar Powell added seven points.
