Bruins swarm over Packers for Coach Flaagan's 300th win

Fargo South had their pressure defense cranked up for the entire first half on Friday night, and the result was another convincing win, this time a 78-41 victory over West Fargo in the Packer gym. Although the Packers scored the first 5 points of the game, the Bruins defensive pressure was relentless as the Bruins forced 23 first half turnovers which led to great scoring chances, and also continually beat the Packers down the floor in transition getting a number of easy fast break baskets. With the Bruins pressure extended the full 84 feet, Siri Burck was seemingly always in a position to score, and she responded with 13 first half points, while backcourt mate Meghan Roehrich continued her strong play, scoring on a number of slicing drives to the rim, which included a three point play. Caitlyn Haring again was seemingly everywhere at once, grabbing rebounds and pushing the ball, and just generally creating havoc for the Packers. Caitlyn also had a three point play in the opening half. Alley Fisher chipped in with some tough transition hoops, and Katie Lee again cleaned up the rebounds for the Bruins and after 18 minutes of great basketball by South, they took a 47-23 lead into halftime. In the second half, South backed off their full court pressure and mixed up their half court defenses, but the Bruins continued to run the floor hard. All of the Bruin starters at one point or another were on the front of the break for points, and with the inside play of Katie Dockter and Abbi Weatherspoon, South cruised to the easy win. The Bruins again put all 5 starters in double figures, led for the second game in a row by junior Siri Burck with 19 points, followed by sophomore Meghan Roehrich with 15. The win was a milestone for Coach Flaagan, who posted his 300th career victory. South improves to 13-0 on the season and 10-0 in the EDC. Next action for the Bruins is next Tuesday when they host Shanley.
