BBE 60, Paynesville 35
The Bulldogs rallied in both the first and second halves, but a seven-minute scoring drought late in the second half doomed these efforts, as BBE beat the Dogs 60-35 in another nonconference game on Thursday, Nov. 30.

BBE jumped to a 6-0 lead in the first minute of the game and never trailed, but the Dogs made several rallies. Their rally late in the first half was muted when BBE scored the final five points of the half to take a 33-17 lead into halftime.

Over the first ten minutes of the second half, the Dogs outscored BBE 16-11, cutting the Jaguars' lead to 44-33 with seven minutes to play. The Dogs had several chances to cut the deficit within ten points but missed five shots over the next two minutes.

BBE broke their dry spell with 5:30 to play when Emily Roelike of Lake Henry hit a three-pointer. Over the next three minutes, the Dogs had nine turnovers without shooting a single shot. The 16-0 run for BBE gave them a 60-33 lead.

In the final two minutes, the Dogs got several scoring chances again, but they did not score until sophomore post JessiccaLee Klein hit junior post Natalie Leadem for a layup in the waning seconds.

"Turnovers and cold shooting hurt us," said coach Jackie Parsley. "Giving them six three-pointers hurt us as well. The girls did play hard, and I believe the mistakes were due to our lack of experience."

Senior Kirsten Miller led the Dogs with seven points, followed by junior Laura Schaefer and senior Jacque Schlangen with six each.

Klein led the Dogs with 14 rebounds.
