Pine Grove 45, ELCO 44

On Monday, ELCO traveled back north to face host Pine Grove in the championship game of the Pine Grove Holiday Tournament. The Lady Raiders had earned their spot with a dominant win over Fleetwood on Friday, but knew they would be tested by a strong Cardinals squad.

The opening quarter was tightly contested, with Pine Grove holding a slim 11–9 edge. A three-pointer from Riley Bennethum helped ELCO stay within striking distance early.

ELCO took control in the 2nd quarter, turning defense into offense and carrying a 24–20 lead into halftime. Kenzie Eckhart paced the Raiders, scoring 8 points in the half while going a perfect 6-for-6 from the free-throw line.

Pine Grove responded in the 3rd quarter, regaining momentum and building a three-point advantage heading into the final frame despite balanced scoring from ELCO.

In the 4th quarter, the Raiders made their push. Ava Beck knocked down her second three of the half, while Adryana Daniels added four key points to help ELCO cut into the deficit. However, the Cardinals were able to hold on down the stretch to secure the narrow victory.

Eckhart finished as ELCO’s leading scorer with 12 points, including a perfect 8-for-8 performance at the line. Daniels also reached double figures with 10 points.

ELCO (7-3) will return to Schuylkill County on Friday night when they travel to face Pottsville at historic Martz Hall.

On Monday, the Dutchmen returned to action to face Tulpehocken in the opening round of the Schuylkill Valley Holiday Tournament, looking to snap a three-game losing streak.

Annville came out strong in the 1st quarter, with Georgia Sellers and Addy Sanchez combining for all nine of the team’s points. In the 2nd quarter, Sellers added four more as the Dutchmen began to spread the scoring around, helping Annville take a slim 19-18 lead into halftime.

The momentum shifted in the 3rd quarter, as Tulpehocken erased the deficit to tie the game at 26-26, despite five points from Savannah Kleinfelter.

Coach Sanchez’s group responded in the 4th quarter, regrouping defensively and pulling away late. Sellers scored seven points in the final frame, while Kleinfelter added three more down the stretch to help secure the five-point victory.

Sellers finished with a game-high 16 points, while Kleinfelter also reached double figures with 10.
