Two dominant guards in Kavi Voglund and Courtlyn Yaussi are getting ready to go toe-to-toe. The Poudre Impalas are taking a road trip to take on the Loveland Red Wolves at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Poudre will be strutting in after a win while Loveland will be coming in after a loss.
Last Friday, Poudre blew past Greeley West, posting a 51-20 victory. Given the Impalas' advantage in MaxPreps' Colorado basketball rankings (they are ranked 109th, while the Spartans are ranked 234th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Loveland had to suffer through a 67-31 loss at the hands of Fossil Ridge. The Red Wolves have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Poudre will have to keep a close watch on Yaussi and Emily Rivera, a pair of players who had a big impact on Loveland's prior game. Yaussi posted 13 points along with five assists and four steals, while Rivera had four points and seven rebounds. That was a full 41.9% of Loveland's points, marking the sixth time in a row she's earned more than a third of the team's points.
Loveland's defeat dropped their record down to 6-11. As for Poudre, the win made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 6-10.
Everything came up roses for Poudre against Loveland when the teams last played back in January, as the squad secured a 55-14 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Poudre since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
