The Luxemburg-Casco Lady Spartans defeated the Denmark Vikings 62-57 Monday Night in a North Eastern Conference battle that went right down to the wire.  The Spartans overcame foul trouble and responded to a couple of comebacks by the Vikings to claim the victory. 

 

Jumping to an early 17-7 lead, the Spartans saw Denmark make a run to cut the lead to halftime to four points at 28-24.  Spartans’ leading scorer Taylor Thiry picked up her third foul halfway through the first half and was forced to the bench with only five points.

 

After building a 12 point lead in the second half, the Spartans let the Vikings back in the game after Thiry committed her fourth foul with just a few minutes into the half.  Denmark took a 43-42 lead before the Spartans were able to retake command and hang on for the win.

 

Lauren Adams came up big scoring 16 of her game-high 27 points in the second half for Luxemburg-Casco.  Alex Wech contributed 15 points and numerous steals, while Thiry finished with 12 points despite being hampered by the foul trouble. 

 

Denmark was led by Olivia Lamack who scored 15 points with several drives to the hoop, keeping the Vikings within striking distance.
