Lady Norsemen Advance to Regional Championship Game

Date: February 10
Opponent: Somonauk
Result: Won 31-14

The Lady Norsemen were sluggish early on as they only led by 2 points after the first quarter and 6 points at halftime. The second half was a different story. With three or four players battling illness, the Lady Norsemen were still able to be more aggressive in the second half. They shutout Somonauk in the third quarter and were able to pull away in the fourth quarter. Lauren McNanna led the team with 15 points and Tara Bernard chipped in 8 points. The ladies advance to the regional championship tonight, February 11, at Serena at 7:30. The Lady Norsemen will take on number two seeded Ottawa Marquette. Come support the Newark ladies as they go for their fourth straight regional championship.
