Spuds roll over Bruins

Fargo Forum article

Although Fargo South jumped out to a quick 9-2 lead against the Moorhead Spuds on Thursday night, it was the Spuds who domintated the rest of the game from that point, and the Bruins found themselves on the bad side of an 84-58 loss in the Moorhead gym. Amy Stroup and Katie Thorson got the Bruins off to a good start as Katie hit from the perimeter and on transition, and Amy got to the hoop twice, once finishing off a three point play. After that lead though, the Spuds put togehter a 17-2 run to take the lead, one of two huge runs the Spuds made in the game. During that run, the Bruins had trouble getting the ball to go in the hoop, partially self inflicted, partially due to the good pressure defense of Moorhead, who harassed the Bruins into 26 turnovers, 18 of them in the first half. Despite not being able to run good offense, and getting dominated on the offensive glass in the opening half, South only trailed by a 43-32 margin at halftime. In the second though, the Spuds got hot from outside, nailing 5 second half three pointers to really open up a huge lead that South couldn't recover from. On the night, Moorhead connected on 9 three pointers, from 5 different players. South hurt their own cause from the freethrow line, hitting only a dismal 11-25 from the charity stripe. For the Bruins, Amy Stroup was the steadiest player on the night, hitting for a team high 14 points and grabbing a team high 6 rebounds. With the loss, the Bruins drop to 4-3 overall, but remain tied for 1st place in the EDC with Shanley, both sporting a 3-0 conference record. Next action is Saturday afternoon when South travels to West Fargo.
