The lady Lions would continue to play suffocating defense in the 2nd quarter and would take a 30-10 lead into halftime.
The Cardinals would try to mount a comeback in the 2nd half but would still ultimately get outscored 24-15 over that time and Minneapolis would go onto win 54-25.
Ell-Saline was lead in scoring by senior Bayleigh Schneider who would finish with 9 points in the matchup.
The Lady Lions would have two girls finish in double digits in the ballgame. Senior Maggie Shupe would score a game high 11 points and junior Josi Schrader added in 10 of her own.
