The girl Whippets evened their record in the young season to 1-1 with a 52-39 win over Jefferson on Friday night, November 16. Cassidy Laue led the Whippet scoring with 16 followed by Kacie Carollo and Jaden Henneman with 15.

Their next game is at home against Turner with tip-off scheduled for Tuesday, November, 20 at 7:15 pm.

From new Head Coach Kristen Lippens:

I am very excited that we started our conference run with a win. Losing key seniors from last season meant that we needed players to step up and lead. I was happy to see that happen tonight with Jaden Henneman defending well under the basket, Kacie Carollo and Cassidy Laue scoring well in the first half and Abby Grosinske helping us with a scoring run in the second half.  We didn’t have to rely on one player to score, the scoring spread between Laue with 16, Carollo with 15, Grosinske with 15 and Hennaman with 6. With 6 minutes left in the game, our girls made smart decisions which allowed us to maintain the lead and force Jefferson to foul.
