BRANDON-EVANSVILLE WINS TWO

The Brandon-Evansville girls’ basketball team won its third straight game and moved to 10-3 on the season with back-to-back wins over Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa and Battle Lake.

The Chargers held off a late rally by the Jaguars on Monday night to win 64-48 after beating the Battlers 47-26 last Friday.

Brandon-Evansville and BBE both shot 39 percent from the field, but the Chargers won the game from the free throw line where they went 18-of-23. Heather Strese was 13-for-13 from the stripe as she finished with 29 points and 10 rebounds.

Her teammates provided a lot of help around her. Megan Friedrich had 18 points, while Carlie Steffenson added eight points and Kinsley Randt added eight assists.

“It was a good offensive game,” head coach Dick Simpson said. “They got hot at the end. We had a 10-point lead and then one of their girls hit four threes…but we played pretty well with the lead before they got hot there and made it close.”

It was the Chargers’ defense that carried them to a Little Eight Conference win against the Battlers. Brandon-Evansville held Battle Lake to just 26 percent from the field (9-34) and forced Battle Lake into 30 turnovers.

“We played a good game defensively,” Simpson said. “Our press disrupted their offense.”

On offense, Strese was too much for the Battlers to handle. She did a little bit of everything for her team, finishing with 29 points, 12 rebounds and eight steals. Friedrich added nine points, nine rebounds and five assists to help the Chargers move to 5-1 in the LEC.

Brandon-Evansville was back on the road last night, Thursday, to take on conference foe Parkers Prairie. The Chargers are at Ortonville tonight before returning home to play Underwood next Tuesday.
