The Turkey Valley girls’ basketball team (2-2, 2-1 UIC) came up with a big road win over defending UIC champ MFL MarMac last Tuesday in Monona by a score of 45-40 before falling to Kee and New Hampton.
Big win
MFL MarMac (2-3, 2-1) won the league last year with a mark of 14-2 but could not get past the Trojans – who sank 16-24 from the charity stripe and outscored the Bulldogs, 13-5, in the third period.
“It was a great team win. The girls fought really hard tonight. This was a very physical game and we didn’t back down from it. We made some clutch free throws late to seal it,” said TV head coach Steve Hoffert.
TV junior guard Addison Steinlage paced the Trojans with 18 points on 5-13 shooting. She was also 7-11 from the free-throw line and ripped down seven rebounds.
Bella Stika, a sophomore, grabbed 11 rebounds and netted six points. She also came away with four steals. Trojan senior frontcourt standout Delaney Busta also notched six points.
Playing hard
TV – which has played three of its first four games on the road this season – dropped a UIC tilt to Kee (2-1, 2-0 UIC) on Friday by a score of 39-30. The Hawks outscored TV, 14-4, in the third period.
Steinlage once again led the Trojans in scoring with nine points and junior Annika Bodensteiner pumped in eight points. Both of those starters for Hoffert combined to net TV’s three 3-pointers on the evening.
Stika once more registered double-digit rebounds (11) versus the Hawks and managed five steals.
“These girls just keep fighting. We had our opportunities but we just couldn’t capitalize on them,” said Hoffert.
