Basketball Preview: Eagan Wildcats vs. Eden Prairie Eagles
The Eagan Wildcats will challenge the Eden Prairie Eagles at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Eagan is headed out to face Eden Prairie after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Eagan skirted past Elk River 52-50.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Eden Prairie). They came out on top against DeLaSalle by a score of 83-70 on Saturday. The victory was some much needed relief for the Eagles as it spelled an end to their four-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Rae Ehrman had an outrageously good game as she went 11 for 13 en route to 38 points plus seven rebounds. The dominant performance also gave her a new career-high in field goal percentage (85%). Another player making a difference was Tori Schlagel, who went 8 for 17 en route to 17 points plus eight assists and five steals.
Eden Prairie was working as a unit and finished the game with 12 assists. That's the most assists they've managed all season.
Eagan might still be hurting after the 68-43 defeat they got from Eden Prairie in their previous matchup back in December of 2021. Thankfully for Eagan, Nia Holloway (who dropped a double-double on 17 points and ten rebounds) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
