It was a tale of two halves for the Algoma Wolves and the Peshtigo Bulldogs in Algoma on Friday, with the hometown team falling short in the 45-42 loss.

 

The Wolves outscored the Bulldogs 28-16 in the first half and had the favor returned to them when they were outscored 29-14 after the break. 

 

A big reason for the split was Parker Lischka, who scored 18 points in the first half thanks to four three-pointers. The Bulldogs' defense turned their focus to the Wolves star, who scored seven of his remaining nine points at the line to end his night with 27 points. The Wolves only made three shots from the field in the second half. Chase Romdenne scored seven points, and Grant Vandevest contributed five points.

 

Will McMahon (20 points) and Dominik Baxter (14 points) sparked the comeback as they combined to score 23 points in the second half for the Bulldogs.
