By Greg Seubert

A 10-0 run in the middle of the second half helped the New London girls’ basketball team pick up a 46-39 nonconference win over Medford Dec. 7.

Medford had a seven-point lead in the first half, but the Bulldogs answered with a 14-6 run to take a 19-18 lead into the locker room at halftime.

Rynn Ruesch’s basket cut New London’s lead to 29-27 in the second half, but the Bulldogs scored the next 10 points to take a 39-27 lead and the Raiders never got any closer than six points the rest of the way.

Lizzie Steingraber led the Bulldogs with 15 points, while Ruesch led Medford with 14.

The Bulldogs are scheduled to head to Wausau East Friday, Dec. 10, for a nonconference matchup with the Lumberjacks at 7:15 p.m. New London will also host Clintonville at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 14.
