Skylights fall to league-leading Carroll
By Ryan Divish/Havre Daily News Sports Editor/rdivish@havredailynews.com
The Skylights did everything they could do to beat the conference-leading
Saints, but in the end it still wasn't quite enough. Carroll's senior
standout Tara Zoanni scored six-straight points in the game's final minutes
to break open a two-point game and give the Saints their 10th conference win
on the season.
Zoanni finished with a game-high 30 points including a pair of three-pointers
to pace the Saints. Andrea Hall added 17 and Emili Woody chipped in with
eight points and 10 rebounds.
Northern hung with the Saints the entire game, trailing 32-30 at halftime and
overcoming an 11-point deficit with a 15-5 run punctuated by a score from
Megan Valgardson inside and pulling within one at 59-58.
However, Zoanni took over and Carroll turned up its defense, not allowing the
Skylights to get very many good looks at the end.
Valgardson led Northern with a team-high 24 points on 10-13 shooting. Anna
Bateman added 11 for Northern, which dropped to 6-5 in the conference and
19-10 overall.
The Skylights will be back in action on Saturday when they face a very good
Rocky Mountain College squad led by Amber and Ashley Griffith. Rocky was
upset by UGF 90-70 on Thursday night.
