In a rematch with a young but extremely talented Bloomer squad, the Lady Macks (8-8, 6-2 Western Cloverbelt Conference) engaged in a seesaw battle with the Blackhawks (10-7, 4-5 WCC) who made a late run to tie the game at 31 by halftime.
In the second half, McDonell repeatedly took two-possession leads but could never quite shake off Bloomer, whose hot-shooting from downtown kept things close as both teams battled foul trouble. In the final minutes, however, the Lady Macks made crucial plays in the clutch, earning their sixth conference victory and a season sweep of the Blackhawks.
Two early 3-pointers had the Cards(0-13, 0-7) within 9-6 early before Eau Claire Memorial(12-3, 8-0) outscored them 38-14 the rest of the half on their way to a 47-20 lead at the half. The Abes continued to grow their lead in the 2nd half activating a running clock at the nine minute mark on their way to an 81-37 victory.
