The turnovers were a season-low, instead of in the 20s and 30s, so we’re starting to take better care of the ball. We played with more intensity and exerted more energy than we have. When you shoot well you look good and we shot well and played pretty good team defense."Ellsworth gets another shot at an undefeated team hosting Dawson-Boyd on Friday.Ellsworth Box ScoreAmy Tiesler 7 2-3 16, Brooke Kramer 0 0-0 0, Mann 0 1-2 1, Kvaale 1 3-4 5, Lynette Drenth 0 0-0 0, Laurel Drenth 6 1-2 13, Lewis 4 3-7 11, Groen 3 2 2-3 14, Carrie Tiesler 0 1-2 1, Brittney Kramer 3 0-1 6, Amy Timmer 4 1-2 9, Laura Timmer 0 1-2 1.
