"This was a tale of two halves," said EHS Coach Jeff Schafer. "I give our kids a lot of credit. They hungini there and played through a tough first half. Our defense was awful in the first half.

"We really got after it in the second half. Ella Niebrugge and Taylor Armstrong helped keep us in the game in the first half. Then Katie Carie, Callie Feldhake and Annie Frost had good second halves. We got contributions from everyone in the second half. We have to learn to play four quarters."
