New London girls beat Pulaski
By Greg Seubert
A 16-2 run in the first half helped the New London girls’ basketball season open the season with three straight wins.
The Bulldogs improved to 3-0 Nov. 21 with a 42-37 nonconference win over Pulaski.
Pulaski led by as many as five points in the first half before New London closed the half with a 16-2 run to take a 25-16 lead into the locker room at the break.
The Bulldogs scored 13 straight points to erase a 14-9 deficit. Pulaski’s Lydia Gwidt scored to cut the home team’s lead to 22-16, but Jensen Mix’s three-pointer at the buzzer gave the Bulldogs a nine-point advantage.
Pulaski scored eight of the second half’s first 10 points to cut the Bulldogs’ lead to 27-24. Jada Fischer’s three-pointer tied the game at 33-33 and her second three of the game gave the Red Raiders a 36-35 lead with 5:40 remaining.
Neither team scored again until a pair of free throws from Mix gave New London a one-point lead with 2:06 to go. New London then outscored Pulaski 5-1 the rest of the way.
Shelby Glodowski and Mix led the Bulldogs with 13 and 12 points, respectively, while Maggie Lardinois led Pulaski with nine.
The Bulldogs will travel to Wisconsin Rapids Friday, Dec. 1, before opening their Bay Conference schedule Tuesday, Dec. 5, at home against Seymour.
