3/1/25 Basketball (WIAA Division 4 Regional Final): #2 McDonell Lady Macks 48, #3 Marathon 32

On their home floor for the final time this season, the Lady Macks (17-8, 10-2 Western Cloverbelt Conference) fell behind early to the Red Raiders (19-7, 10-6 Marawood South Conference), but took advantage of Marathon turnovers to build a 14-point halftime advantage.

In the second half, McDonell started out well but Marathon responded, using their significant size advantage to secure second chance opportunities and get the Lady Macks in foul trouble. McDonell withstood the charge, however, and punched their ticket to the Sectional level as they won their 10th straight game, fifth straight regional championship, and got to cut down the nets once again.


WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Sophomore guard Claire Ruf came out of the gate hot for the second straight night, ending up with a team high 20 points. Sophomore guard Erin Siegenthaler hit a pair of threes in the second half and finished with 10, while senior forward Kendall Hepfler tallied eight in a strong effort during the final home game of her high school career.

2/28/25 Basketball (WIAA Division 4 Regional Semi-Final): #2 McDonell Lady Macks 67, #10 Colby 42

In their playoff opener, the Lady Macks (16-8, 10-2 Western Cloverbelt Conference) jumped out to an early double-digit lead before the Hornets (5-18, 1-13 Eastern Cloverbelt Conference), made a push and pulled within a possession.

McDonell responded with a run of their own, taking a 19-point advantage into the half and stifling the comeback bid. Every player on the Lady Macks roster saw action in the second half as they cruised to a victory and earned a spot in the Regional Final.


WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Sophomore guard Claire Ruf scored the game's first 9 points on her way to a game-high 22, and fellow sophomore Anne Siegenthaler contributed 13 of her own as 11 different Lady Macks scored.

2/27/25 Basketball: McDonell Macks 65, Spencer 61

Playing on their home floor in the annual Cloverbelt Crossover game, the Macks (15-9, 6-6 Western Cloverbelt Conference) went back and forth for much of the first half with the young and talented Rockets (14-10, 7-7 Eastern Cloverbelt Conference), and led by just a single possession at the half.

In the second, McDonell came out of the gate with some momentum, stretching the lead to multiple possessions, but never pulling away. Foul trouble plagued the Macks in the second half, but clutch defensive plays and free throws made the difference as the clock waned, giving McDonell the win and some momentum on the doorstep of the playoffs.


WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Junior guard Eli Stepp was electric off the bench, knocking down three triples and pacing the team with a career-high 17 points, while junior Cael Holm also tallied a trio of treys, and finished with 13.
