A buzzer beater provided the momentum Two Rivers needed to get past Sturgeon Bay Thursday night 37-29.

 

The two teams were knotted up just before halftime when the Raiders registered the go-ahead bucket. The Clippers had a rough night from the field with only five made field goals, but they were able to hang with the Raiders thanks to a strong 19-24 performance from the free-throw line.

 

The Clippers were led by Dasha Yeltysheva with 17 points.  Regan Kasten had 7 points, all on free throws.  Yarrow Goettelman had 3 points and Cady Carlson 2.  

 

Two Rivers was led by Kaylee Jensen with 12 points, Vayda Sonnenberg had 9 points, Jordyn Kulpa and Rylee Timm each contributed 7, and Allie Gallagher had 2.

 

Head coach Dan Tjernagel was pleased with the effort, especially on the defensive side of the ball. " We had to navigate first-half foul trouble, so we need to learn from that," Tjernagel said. "We also need to shoot the ball better from the floor to put ourselves in position to win ball games."

 

The Clippers are back in action next Tuesday against NEW Lutheran.
