Exira-EHK held a 3 point lead at halftime of their Class 1A Region 4 Final against Remsen St. Mary’s on Thursday night. Then the Hawks turned the game on it’s head with a 17-0 run to start the second half. Remsen St. Mary’s outscored the Spartans 22-8 in the third quarter to swing the momentum in their favor. Exira-EHK would battle to the end, getting as close as six points in the final two minutes but the Hawks held on. Exira-EHK head coach Tom Petersen said that run was rough but he was proud that his team kept fighting.

Remsen St. Mary’s got 15 points from leading-scorer Whitney Jensen, 13 of which came in the second half. Carmindee Ricke added 13 points and Mya Bunkers dropped in 11 for the Hawks. Remsen-St. Mary’s advances to their first ever girls state basketball tournament and improved to 23-1 on the season.

Exira-EHK got 19 points from senior Shay Burmeister and fellow senior Quinn Grubbs added 9. Coach Petersen tried to put the words together to describe the phenomenal careers that Grubbs and Burmeister have had.

The Spartans end their season with a mark of 19-5 and fall just shy of reaching the state tournament for the third straight season.

The Drake women’s basketball team jumped out to an 8-point lead by halftime and clobbered Murray State in the second half to pick up a 97-71 road win on Thursday.

The Bulldogs outscored the Racers 33-18 in the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach.

Maggie Bair dropped in a career-high 28 points to lead five Bulldogs in double figures. Sarah Beth Gueldner had 15 points Grace Berg added 13, Katie Dinnebier had 12, and Anna Miller poured in 11 points and grabbed 7 rebounds.

The Bulldogs improved to 17-8 overall and 12-5 in the Valley. Next up for Drake is a road trip to Belmont on Saturday at 2:00 p.m.

The UNI women’s basketball team fell short in an 82-77 loss at Belmont on Thursday.

The Panthers were down six heading into the fourth quarter and got as close as one down the stretch but couldn’t complete the rally.

Grace Boffelli had 19 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Panthers. Maya McDermott added 16 points, Cynthia Wolf had 14 points and 9 boards, Cailyn Morgan had 12 points, and Emerson Green added 11.

The Panthers drop to 18-8 overall and 13-4 in the Valley. Next up for UNI is a road trip to Murray State on Saturday at 2:00 p.m.

Iowa will host the final ESPN College GameDay on Sunday morning prior to the sixth ranked Hawkeye women taking on second ranked Indiana. It won’t have title implications that many were expecting. The Hoosiers locked up sole possession of their first Big Ten champioinship since 1983 on Tuesday night with Iowa’s blowout loss at seventh rated Maryland. Iowa coach Lisa Bluder says it will be great exposure for the program.

It is the first time the show has visited a Big Ten school.

Bluder says they are hoping for a big turnout at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

Bluder says they are working on getting students to take part.
