11/25/25 Basketball: McDonell Lady Macks 53, Onalaska 44

In their home opener, the Lady Macks (1-2, 0-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) got off to a hot start, scoring the first 10 points and setting the Hilltoppers (2-1, 0-0 Mississippi Valley Conference) back on their heels.

The visitors responded, however, cutting the deficit to a single basket in the second half, before McDonell caused key turnovers to create some separation, leading to their first win of the 2025-26 season.

WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:

Junior guard/forward Claire Ruf led the way with 20 points, while fellow junior Anne Siegenthaler helped key the team's fast start and finished with 14.
