The Audubon Wheelers girls basketball team picked up a Western Iowa Conference road win on Friday night over Tri-Center 54-45. The Wheelers led most of the game but had to respond from a late rally from the Trojans to secure the win. Audubon led by just a point at the end of the first quarter and at halftime. They were then able to push the lead to as large as 12 in the third quarter and took a 39-32 advantage into the final quarter. Tri-Center then rallied to begin the fourth by going on a 10-2 run to take a one point lead at 42-41. The Wheelers responded with a late 7 point run to grab the victory.

Audubon was led by 20 points from freshman Aleah Hermansen, while Leah Subbert and Jaci Christensen each poured in 10 for the Wheelers. Audubon improves to 3-5 on the season and will next host Underwood next Tuesday.

Tri-Center got 16 points from Lilly Dahir and 7 from Madison Ausdemore in the loss. The Trojans fall to 3-3 and will prepare for a trip to IKM-Manning next Tuesday.
