Spring Grove (7-11) suffered through a disastrous start, losing possession 11 times while falling behind, 24-4. The Lions clawed back within 12 points at halftime and later within 10 points (37-27) before the Falcons (8-10) put the game out of reach with a 10-point run. At the end, Fillmore Central had won the first half, 28-16, and the second stanza, 31-15.
Emerson Ingvalson led Lion scoring with 11 points, and Kylie Hammel earned rebounding honors with 7. The Falcons displayed balanced scoring with Jersey Ristau tallying 12 points, freshman Kyla Hellickson 10 points, Abby Bothun 9 and Alyssa Briton 8.
The Lions shot with 32% success on 2-point attempts, but they were icy while going only 2 for 21 (10%) beyond the 3-point arc. Overall, the Falcons had twice as many field goals (24 to 12) and nearly twice as many made free throws (9 to 5).
