At Eau Claire North for the Sectional Final, the Lady Macks (26-2, 13-1 Western Cloverbelt Conference) faced a familiar foe in the Crickets (24-4, 13-1 WCC), who represented McDonell's only conference loss the last two years.
As the rubber match went back and forth initially, the Lady Macks could never quite pull away from Fall Creek, who had a late surge and pulled within a single basket at the break. In the second half, however, McDonell steadily built and then maintained a double-digit advantage, punching their ticket to State for the fourth straight year!
