‘Canes Make it Eight Straight

It was a long trip.  The ride home probably gave Houston’s girls basketball players and coaches plenty of time to enjoy where they are at.  Courtesy of a 70-41 win over Faribault-B.A, the Hurricanes ran their win streak to eight.  Houston’s top three scorers on the year, Amber Chapel (16 pts, 7-12 FGs)), Jessica Kitching (16 pts, 4-6 threes, 5-8 FGs, 5 rebs, 5 assists), and Alyssa Rostad (15 pts, 3-7 threes), all did their thing.  Rostad hit three trifectas for a fourth time in her last five games.  The junior guard has scored at least 12 in every game.  She is averaging 19-per whilst closing in on a nice career milestone (a couple good weeks).  Jenny Albrecht continued her role as rebounder/defender (4 pts, 7 rebs, 7 stls, 2 blks).  Houston tied a season-high in points while holding an opponent under 45 for the seventh straight game.  The ‘Canes (3-1, 8-1) lead the SEC-East over SG (3-2, 3-4).
