36 from the line.

An ugly first quarter of basketball opened the game as both teams combined for 16 turnovers and only two field goals as Manawa somehow held a 5-4 lead after one quarter of play.

The ugly basketball contained into the second frame as over three minutes went by before anybody scored. The Chargers finally ended the scoring drought with a 7-0 run that was fielded by the Lady Wolves 15 second quarter turnovers.

Junior Danika Decorah poured in five of those seven points as the Lady chargers took the lead for good. Junior Katrina Wilz kept the Lady Wolves within four points as 11-7 and 13-9 before the Chargers finished the quarter with a 4-0 run to hold a 17-9 lead at halftime.

Manawa managed to pull within five points with 2:14 left in the third on Tracy Wildenberg’s put back. Manawa was within six after three quarters.

Krista Braun would led Manawa with 8 points as the Wolves dropped their fifth straight game. Their record changed to 6-13 for the season.
