Milan gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Tuesday. They strolled past the Novinger Wildcats with points to spare, taking the game 54-40. Milan has seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw Novinger, too.
Milan got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Marian Dabney out in front who shot 5-for-8 from beyond the arc and dropped a double-double on 21 points and 15 rebounds. Dabney's evening made it four games in a row in which she has scored at least ten points. Another player making a difference was Amy Pickering, who went 6 for 15 en route to 17 points plus five rebounds and two steals.
Novinger is on a five-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-3.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Milan will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Marceline at 6:00 p.m. on December 10th. Novinger also won't see the court for a while: their next contest is against Scotland County at 6:00 p.m. on December 10th.
