If St. Paul wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Holdrege, they should've done a better job of containing Keeley Vaughn. The Holdrege Dusters simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat the St. Paul Wildcats 61-25 which was due in part to Vaughn, who went 7-for-12 from beyond the arc on her way to 23 points. She continues to improve, besting her previous point total in each of the last three games she's played.
The team also got some help courtesy of Carson Sundquist, who posted four points and five steals. With that strong performance, she is now averaging an impressive 2 steals per game.
St. Paul's loss came despite strong showings from Charlee Wegner and Aubree Fitzgerald. Wegner had eight points and seven steals, while Fitzgerald went 6-for-13 to rack up 13 points. Wegner is becoming a predictor of St. Paul's success: when she posts at least three steals the team is 7-3 (and 0-10 when she doesn't).
