With the EDC tournament looming, one-loss Davies hosted #4 ranked Grand Forks Red River for the second-to-last game of the regular season for each squad. A little more than a month ago they met in what ended up being a two point win for the Eagles.
A back & forth, score for score first half gave the impression that this one would be every bit as exciting.
The Roughriders carried a 9-3 run into the break and added five more after it to get a grip on the momentum. They held onto the double-digit advantage for most of the half. A Taylor Safraniski three capped a run of made shots from deep by Davies to get the difference down to nine. Alex Page answered by draining three free throws to push her teams lead back to 12 with five and a half minutes left. Shortly thereafter the foul strategy was implemented but that only served to inflate the lead for Red River even more.
