Jill Meier Journal editor The Lady Lynx evened their season mark to 4-4 behind the fi repower of freshman Hilary Behrens’ 30-point pro- duction in Thursday’s 58-46 road win at Watertown. Brandon Valley implemented a late-game surge to fend off the 0-8 Arrows, who got within fi ve points late in the fourth quarter before the Lynx pulled away for good. “It’s always a challenge to go on the road in our league and get a win,” said Lynx head coach Mike Zerr. “I was glad to see our team be able to get out to a fast lead and then just play within themselves throughout the game.” BV led their hosts at all four quarter stops, 16-12 after a quarter of play; 31-23 at the half; 41-34 at the end of three; and a 58-46 ending. “In the fourth quarter when we needed to get stops and salt the game away, our girls really stepped up and fi n- ished,” Zerr said. “We talk about having pride in our de- fense and that pride in defense travels with us no matter where we play and gives us a chance in every game.” While Behrens’ 30-point performance clearly stands out, Zerr said the freshman “did it within herself, doing the things we see each and every day in practice. She took the shots she needed to for our team and did a nice job distrib- uting and being willing to share it when they took things away from her.” Zerr also took notice of the job Emma Jarovski did on defense.
