MN Fall League
White Division
Hopkins 50, Osseo White 42

Hopkins bounced back after a loss to Eden Prairie to stop Osseo 50-42. In the best of the three match ups I saw today. Hopkins established themselves early with the first 8 points of the game. Osseo was mired in a six possession drought. Osseo did cut the margin to 10-7 after a Sunnaborg basket. But the Orioles didn't have a way to stop Caitlin Rowland in first half as she scored 14 points to lead Hopkins to a 23-15 half time lead.

Hopkins built a 38-21 lead in the second half before Osseo whittled it down to the final margin of 8. Osseo struck for four 3s in their late comeback attempt. Osseo outscored Hopkins 21-12 during the last half of the second half. Jennifer Sunnarborg had 10 points in the second half for Osseo, 16 for the day.
