On the road in Neillsville for the second time this season, this time with a regional championship as the stakes, the Lady Macks (20-6, 12-2 Western Cloverbelt Conference) came out of the gate confidently against the Warriors (25-1, 14-0 Eastern Cloverbelt Conference), who had been consistently ranked in the top three in the state in D4 throughout the season.
Every time Neillsville started to create separation, McDonell had an answer, and though some critical moments (and bounces) didn't go their way and the Lady Macks ended up a bit short, the final score did not do the competitiveness of the game justice.
Chippewa Falls(8-18) kept it close early, but Stevens Point went on a 16-2 run to close out the first half and go into the break leading, 36-15. They then scored the first 13 points of second half as well to take a commanding 49-15 lead on their way to a 62-23 victory.
New Richmond(14-9, 8-6) went on an 11-0 run after Chippewa Falls(5-19, 3-11) scored the first basket of the game and the Tigers never looked back on their way to a 68-57 win in the regular season finale for both teams.
After leading by six at the half, 28-22, Chippewa Falls(8-17) took better care of the basketball in the 2nd half on their way to a 61-43 tournament road win.
