Midway through the second half, the Jaguars pulled ahead 42-41 on a bucket from Megan Weller, but the Dutchmen then got two three-pointers from Gabi Sawyer and hit 7-of-8 free throws down the stretch to seal the close win. Senior Raeann Sorenson led the Jaguars with 16 points on three field goals and a 9-of-10 performance at the free throw line.

At the A-C-GC Triangular on Thursday night, the Jaguars wrestling team went 1-1 to improve to 3-1 in duals this season. They lost to the Falcons before defeating section and conference rival Eden Valley-Watkins 40-27. It's a great win for the Jaguars that will help them at seeding time. To be certain, they have to continue beating Section 5A opponents in the regular season to. They've definitely got the right level of talent and determination to build a resume worthy of a top-four playoff seed next February.
