CDH won a rare Wednesday night non conference game. CDH is now 15-6, NSP is 7-14.

Neither team was very effective at the start of the game as both combined for 8 straight non scoring possessions. CDH's Molly Geske broke the ice with a three. Ann Kliethermes came back and scored on lay up off the CDH press. Neither team got too far away from each other as both teams had 3 ties. NSP last lead came at 12-11 after Danielle Daniels picked up a steal, and was fouled on the lay up. She made one free throw for the momentary lead. Kendra Harris put CDH back in front on a post up and they never trailed. That was a start of a 9-0 run with Alyssa Karel providing five of the points punctuated with a trey from the left wing. CDH led at this point 20-12. NSP had a five possession drought at this time. Then NSP snapped out of it with a 9-4 run with Danielle Daniels contributing four points to make it 24-21 CDH. CDH did have a 5/6 scoring sequence with Sarah Hendricks doing most of the damage in the 10-5 run with six points. CDH led at half 38-28. Danielle Daniels had 13 points at half.

CDH added two points to the margin to go up 42-30. NSP then went on a 11-5 run on a 7/8 scoring sequence. Carolyn Mobley had five points during the run. Karel stopped the NSP momentum with a three from the top of the key, followed by a pair of baskets from Carolyn Dienhart and the lead was back up to 56-45. Danielle Daniels scored on three straight possessions, the last two on picks of the dribbles and transition lay ups, and that again brought the game back to five at 56-51, with about 7 minutes left. CDH then strung 3 possessions together to get the lead back to 61-51. The game didn't really budge off that spread.
