3/7/24 WIAA Division 4 Basketball State Semi-Final: #3 Cuba City 48, #2 McDonell Lady Macks 45

Back in Green Bay for their fourth straight trip to State, the Lady Macks (26-3, 13-1 Western Cloverbelt Conference) went toe to toe with one of Wisconsin's legendary girls basketball programs in the Cubans (25-4, 14-0 Southwest Activities League).

In a seesaw battle that saw both squads lock in defensively, McDonell could never quite pull away from Cuba City, who came through with clutch plays down the stretch on both ends of the floor.

Thank you to this year's incredible group of seven seniors: Kali Goulet, Katie Ruf, Emily Cooper, Aubrey Dorn, Isabel Hartman, and Kylee Jenson! You have left an indelible mark on the Lady Macks program, and on us. You will be missed!

WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:

Freshman guard EllaMay Cooper scored a team-high 18 points, while senior center Aubrey Dorn and freshman guard Claire Ruf each tallied 8, and senior point guard Emily Cooper finished with 7.
