With a bit of breathing room between themselves and the Escanaba Eskymos, the Negaunee Miners girls looked ready to shut the door on Escanaba. All they had to do was maintain consistent defense, and they were able to do that spectacularly through much of the second half of play. The Eskymo’s stand-out player, Lexi Chaillier, was held to just seven points throughout the game. By the time the final buzzer sounded, the Miner girls defense held strong to take home the win. Chloe Norman, a senior, had 17 points on the night with nine rebounds, and senior Abby Nelson, who earned player of the game honors, had a double-double with 16 points and 13 rebounds.
