Basketball roundup: New London-Spicer Wildcat girls take first loss

CROSBY — The New London-Spicer girls basketball team suffered its first loss of the season in a non-conference game to Crosby-Ironton.

The Rangers won 59-58.

The Wildcats, ranked second in Class AA, got off a left-handed runner by Avery Rich just inside the lane that was off just as time expired. NLS had a side-out in-bounds pass with four seconds left before getting the ball to Rich.

Tori Oehrlein led the Rangers, who are ranked 20th in Class AA, with 28 points and 13 rebounds. Just a freshman, Oehrlein scored her 2,000th career point in the victory. She was honored before the game with a presentation for becoming Crosby-Ironton’s all-time leading scorer, breaking the school record by Bryce Tesdahl, who is now the head boys basketball coach at Minnetonka.

Senior guard Jaden Coahran had 18 points, three assists and two steals. Avery Rich had 15 points and Dakota Rich 11.
