The Raiders hosted the Irene-Wakonda Eagles last Tuesday night in girls’ basketball action. The Eagles have won 4 straight against the Raiders and were coming in to try to steal another. The first half would be a defensive battle. The Raiders would hold an 8-point advantage at one point, only to see it slip away and end the half with a 22-20 lead. Wagner would storm out of the locker room in the second half and take a 41-29 lead. They would increase it to as much as 14 in the 4th. The Eagles would mount one last attack, but it wouldn’t be enough as the Raiders would finish with the win 56-48. Wagner would use a very balanced scoring attack. Emma Yost would record another double-double with 14 points and 10 boards. Eve Zephier would add 9 points. Shalayne Nagel also netted 9 points, grabbed 5 boards, and dished out 4 assists. Macy Koupal would also put in 9 points, grab 7 boards, and dish out 4 assists. Lydia Yost would add 8 points off the bench. Ashlyn Koupal would chip in 5 points, grab 4 boards, and dish out 3 assists. Sydney Cournoyer would also add 2 points off the bench. Wagner would shoot 21-49 for 43% while the Eagles would shoot 18-42 for 43%. Wagner would own the glass again with a 29-17 advantage. Wagner would commit 12 turnovers compared to 8 from Irene-Wakonda. The Raiders would hit 7-12 from the line while the Eagles would go 9-13. “Defensively Shalayne did a great job again on their go to scorer. Our helpers on defense got to the paint to help when needed. We all rebounded well again. Macy got the transition going as we got a few more looks this game than the previous. Offensively we struggled getting the ball to the high post. We didn’t penetrate gaps to create open looks for our teammates. We are distributing the basketball as we ended the game with 17 assists but creating for others is going to push that number up even more. The great thing is that the season is young and there is plenty of time to make improvements. We fought some adversity this game with it being close again and we found a way to win! Great job girls!”

The first quarter would see the Lady Raiders pull out to a 12-10 lead. Winner would capitalize on Wagner’s 13 turnovers in the first half and take a 23-20 lead into half. Wagner would crank up the heat on defense allowing the Warriors to only manage 11 points the entire second half where the Raiders would score 21. Wagner would shoot 15-39 for 39% while holding Winner to 14-47 for 28%. Wagner would dominate the glass with a 39-22 advantage. Wagner would commit 21 turnovers compared to 11 from Winner. The Raiders would hit 6-10 from the charity stripe while Winner would struggle 4-15. Emma Yost led all scorers with a double-double scoring 20 points, grabbing 13 boards, and dishing out 3 assists. Ashlyn Koupal would add 7 points, grabbing 6 boards, dish out 2 assists, and come away with 2 blocks off the bench. Lydia Yost would net 6 points and dish out 2 assists. Shalayne Nagel would add 3 points, grab 9 boards, dish out 3 assists and come away with a team high 3 steals. Macy Koupal would also add 3 points, grab 6 boards, dish out 2 assists, and grab 2 steals. Eve Zephier rounded out the scoring with 2 points and dishing out 2 assists. “I can’t say enough about our girls! First of all, our goal was to control the glass and we did an excellent job of doing that. Second, we had to contain their scorer and use a variety of schemes to do that without giving up open looks to their off guards. Shalayne and Ashlyn drew the lucky straws to do just that allowing her to only score 18 for the game but only 5 the entire second half. 2 coming in the first 10 seconds on a set play. We turned it over a bit more than desired, but I thought when it came down to crunch time, we did a great job in the 4th quarter of taking care of the ball. We hit some big shots from the perimeter, but we also had a lot that were right there and just didn’t fall.”
