The Whitewater Girls’ Basketball Team travelled to Beloit Turner for a conference match up Friday, January 28th.
After losing to Turner by 2 points earlier in the season, the Whippets were ready for a win. The first half was a low scoring, defensive battle. We were up by only 1 at half after Danielle DePorter hit Mayte Navejas for a layup right before the buzzer.
The Whippets tightened up their defense, moved the ball well, and connected on their shots in the second half, to secure the win, 51-28.
Freshman Calli Grosinske led the Whippets, scoring all of her 14 points in the second half (2 for 2 for 3 pointers) and adding 4 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 assists. Kindyl Kilar had her second double-double in a row, with 12 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 assists. Mayte Navejas added 8 points and 4 assists, 2 rebounds, and 1 steal. Cali Kopecky contributed 6 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 steals. Gwen Truesdale also added 6 points, 8 rebounds, 4 steals, and 2 assists. Danielle DePorter contributed 3 points, 3 assists, and 2 rebounds.
The Whippets travel to Cambridge for a non-conference game Monday, January 31st. JV starts at 6:00 pm and Varsity at 7:30 pm.
