advantage.

Ruesch, Laurissa Klapatauskas, Krause, Miller, Hope Faude and Bryn Fronk all contributed to the scoring in the last seven minutes as Medford’s lead got as high as 31.

With the increase in energy, Greg Klapatauskas said small adjustments on the back end made Medford’s press more effective in the second half and the Raiders benefited from more patience on offense while breaking down Antigo’s zone.

“We needed to just keep working the ball and making them move,” he said.

Marissa Fronk’s 16 points led Medford, but she got plenty of help. Bryn Fronk finished with 13 points, Krause had nine on three second-half 3s, Ruesch scored eight and Miller added seven.

Pernsteiner and Klapatauskas added four points each, Katie Brehm and Faude scored three each and Brost finished with two.

“Sophie and Lydia played well,” Klapatauskas said. ‘Lydia was hustling all over the place and Sophie played strong. She makes good choices and she’s a good shooter. We had balanced scoring. Thirteen, seven, eight, nine and 16 points. That’s five players who probably would’ve been in double digits had they played the whole game.”

Lonna Weix scored 12 points and Greta Parsons added 10 for Antigo, who had 18 offensive rebounds in the game, but Medford solidified that area as the game went on and wound up outrebounding the Robins 41-35. Medford forced 36 turnovers and wound up shooting 39.6% overall from the field after making just eight of 28 shots in the first half.

Marissa Fronk had eight steals and six assists. Klapatauskas had seven rebounds, while Bryn Fronk had six and Marissa Fronk, Krause and Ruesch had five apiece.
