Two dominant guards in Teagan Baer and Aubrey Stoll are getting ready to go toe-to-toe. The Northfield Norsemen will welcome the Maconaquah Braves at 7:45 p.m. on Tuesday. Northfield is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 51 points per game this season.

Northfield easily dispatched Eastbrook last Tuesday, but unfortunately both the margin and the ultimate result were a different story in this one. The Norsemen fell just short of Peru by a score of 59-57 last Friday.

Meanwhile, Maconaquah beat North Miami 41-29 on Wednesday. The 41-point effort marked the Braves' lowest-scoring contest of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.

Maconaquah's win came from a few key players Northfield will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Ireland Kile, who went 6-for-15 on her way to 15 points. Kile is also crushing it when it comes to steals: she's grabbed at least two every time she's taken the court this season. Another player making a difference was Delaney Betzner, who scored seven points and five steals.

Rebounding is likely to be a big factor in this contest: Northfield has been crashing the boards this season, having averaged 34.3 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Maconaquah struggles in that department as they've been averaging 26.8 boards. With both teams battling to corral missed shots, we'll see if one team can grab an edge.

Northfield came up short against Maconaquah in their previous matchup back in December of 2024, falling 40-34.
