It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact the Upsala Cardinals can now relate to. They took a 69-61 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Lions on Saturday. While losing is never fun, Upsala can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Minnesota basketball rankings (they are ranked 240th, while Ogilvie is ranked 118th).
Several Cardinals players turned in solid performances despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was Brenna Graves, who dropped a double-double on 13 points and 16 rebounds. Graves hasn't dropped below eight rebounds for ten straight games. Isabelle Leners was another key contributor, almost dropping a double-double on 14 points and nine rebounds.
Upsala has traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four games, which put a noticeable dent in their 14-14 record this season. As for Ogilvie, the win was the ninth in a row for them, bringing their record for this year to 24-3.
Upsala does not have any more games scheduled as of now. Ogilvie will be staying on the road on Wednesday to face off against Braham at 7:00 p.m. on March 6th. Ogilvie knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with flashy point totals in its past nine matches -- so hopefully Braham likes a good challenge.
