Three early 3-pointers from Sarah Chaffee had the Cards(4-12, 1-7) right in it with Rice Lake(15-4, 7-3) trailing just 15-11, but the Warriors went on an 11-0 run and never looked back leading at the half 45-18 and winning 82-32.
Despite leading most of the first half, CF(0-8, 1-13) went into the half trailing Hudson(6-2, 9-6) 33-32. After a couple of lead changes early in the second half the Raiders built up a 51-40, but Easton Bobb led the Cards on a 15-2 run putting them up 55-53. However, despite some huge free throws from Braden Dickerson down the stretch it wasn't enough as Hudson snuck out with a 59-57 win.

In their third of six consecutive road contests, the Macks (11-4, 5-3 Western Cloverbelt Conference) fell behind early to the Ramblers (6-9, 5-3 WCC), who played strong defense and knocked down shots on their home floor.
After the break, McDonell started to mount a comeback, pulling within a single basket, but a string of turnovers helped Regis pull away once again, as they avenged an early season defeat in Chippewa Falls, earned a split of the season series, and moved into a tie with the Macks for second place in the conference.
On the heels of their first loss in 22 games, the Lady Macks (15-1, 8-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) started a bit slowly against the physical Thunder (7-8, 4-4 WCC), but dominant defensive pressure allowed them to steadily pull away and carry a 19 point lead into the half.
After the break, McDonell's defense continued to pay dividends, as they again held their opponent to just a 13 point half and cruised to another running clock victory, remaining perfect in conference play.
