Section 8A East Quarterfinal – #8 Blackduck 51 vs. #1 Red Lake 72
In the third meeting between these two teams, Red Lake was able to complete the sweep with a 72-51 win over Blackduck, ending the Drakes season and allowing the Lady Warriors to move on in the section 8A east subsection.
Red Lake did not have a great night shooting and Blackduck struggled with turnovers but it was the hot hand of Alexis Desjarlait that would give the Warriors the advantage. Desjarlait would score 26 points, including 4 three pointers in the 2nd half that would spark the Warriors and keep them out in front.
Blackduck was led by the lone senior on the roster Michaela Sparby who had 23 points, along with 15 rebounds, but it wouldn't be enough and Red Lake will move on with a 21-2 record ending the Drakes season at 9-19.
