Winner has made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 12 matches by 23 points or more this season.
Keelie Kuil was her usual excellent self, dropping a triple-double on ten points, ten assists, and 12 steals. Kuil is crushing the steal category: she's posted at least two every time she's taken the court this season. Another player making a difference was Karlee Brozik, who scored 14 points along with two steals.
Winner's victory was their eighth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 15-4. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 60.4 points per game. As for Pine Ridge, they are on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-15.
Winner will look to defend their home court on Thursday against Todd County at 7:00 p.m. Hopefully Winner is not getting complacent considering they own a much higher rank in South Dakota (they are ranked 31st, while Todd County is ranked 104th). Pine Ridge does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
