Taking an early lead and never giving it up, the Dogs led 13-9 after the first quarter and 27-15 at the half. The Bulldogs played tough for the whole game, never letting the Dutchmen within eight points. Melrose outscored the Bulldogs by one point in the second half, but the Dogs won by 11 points, avenging a loss to the Dutchmen in December.

"We did a much better job tonight in slowing down and waiting for good shots. Inside the three-point line we hit over 50 percent of our shots," said coach Ric Koehn.

Tallying up another double-double for the Dogs was junior Amanda Glenz with 17 points and 11 boards, while senior Hannah Braun netted 13 points with six rebounds.

The victory raised the team's record to 7-9 for the season. Prior to this game, the team had had a five-game losing streak, a six-game winning streak, and a four-game losing streak. The Dogs are 3-4 in the West Central Conference North.
