On the road for their first contest in the new year, the Cardinals (0-8, 0-4 Big Rivers Conference) got behind the eight ball early after the hot-shooting Warriors (8-0, 4-0 BRC) jumped out to a 25-0 lead.
In the second half, though baskets were a little easier to come by for Chippewa Falls, Rice Lake continued to hold the Cards at bay, as the Warriors defended their home floor and remained perfect on the season.
Sophomore G/F Owen Munson hit a pair of threes and led the way for Chi-Hi with 10 points, while fellow sophomore Kael Dillenbeck chipped in seven.
