The Thorp Cardinals will be defending their home court for the first time this season when they go up against the Cornell Chiefs at 5:45 p.m. on Monday. Having both just faced considerable losses, both teams are looking to turn things around.
Thorp is coming home looking for redemption after taking a loss in their road opener. They had to suffer through a 64-24 loss at the hands of Colby. Sadly, the defeat continues a streak the team started last season, making it six in a row.
The losing side was boosted by Emma Mohr, who almost dropped a double-double with 14 points and nine rebounds.
Meanwhile, Cornell suffered their biggest loss since January 24th last Thursday. They were outmatched by Glenwood City and fell 61-14. The Chiefs were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 32-8.
Thorp will need to focus on slowing down Haylee Ellis, one of several Cornell players who made an impact when they last played. She posted eight points.
Thorp couldn't quite finish off Cornell in their previous matchup back in January and fell 44-42. Will the Cardinals have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other basketball content.
