Preview: Roosevelt Teddies vs. Burnsville Blaze

Roosevelt has played every game this season on their home court, but they'll have to hit the road on Friday. They will challenge the Burnsville Blaze at 7:00 p.m. Burnsville took a loss in their last game and will be looking to turn the tables on Roosevelt, who comes in off a win.

Last Tuesday, Roosevelt beat St. Anthony Village 52-42.

Olivia Wren was her usual excellent self, dropping a double-double on 15 points and 11 rebounds. That makes it two consecutive games in which she has scored at least 25% of Roosevelt's points. Another player making a difference was Cady Davis, who scored 9 points along with 8 rebounds.

Meanwhile, Burnsville lost to Minneapolis Southwest on the road by a decisive 65-51 margin on Tuesday.

Their wins bumped Roosevelt to 2-2 and St. Anthony Village to 1-1.

Roosevelt skirted past Burnsville 71-69 in their previous matchup back in January. The rematch might be a little tougher for Roosevelt since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
