After over a week off, the Lady Macks (10-2, 6-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) found themselves in a battle for first place in the conference with the Mounders (8-4, 4-2 WCC), who came into the contest having won three of their last four games.
McDonell saw an early lead slip away right before the half, and in the second Elk Mound came close to pulling away. The Lady Macks stayed strong, however, hitting multiple big shots while continuing to play aggressive defense. A last-second defensive stand proved to be the difference, as McDonell notched their tenth consecutive victory.
