Girls' basketball: Panthers remain undefeated; Pierz uses depth to stop Silverstreaks

The Parkers Prairie girls had a bit of a scare again on Tuesday night but remained undefeated with another Little Eight Conference win.

The Panthers led by five at the break against Underwood before pulling away in the second half. Madison Dorn led the charge as she had 15 of her game-high 23 points after halftime to lead her team to a 61-44 win.

Carly Masloski kept Underwood in the game through the first 18 minutes. She scored 12 of the Rockets’ 23 points by the break. Parkers Prairie held her to just two in the second. Ellen Ferry picked up the pace, scoring 16 on her way to a team-high 19 points. It was not enough as the Panthers moved to 16-0 overall and 8-0 in the LEC.
