Butternut hosted Washburn on Monday in the first of 5 straight home games for the Midgets. Coming of the Holiday break, the Midgets looked sharp offensively early on, jumping out to a 13-1 lead in the opening minutes, finding their way inside with Gianna Nahring and Brooklynn Treml.
They went flat on both ends for a big chunk of the 1st half as Washburn clawed their way back. Butternut made a little push to close out the half leading 20-13. Butternut tried a few things on defense in the second half, and eventually found their rhythm. Caitlynn BeBeau found the gas pedal on offense and Natalee Lueloff had a big second half controlling the inside as the Midgets pulled away for a 48-25 win with good contributions from the bench.
Nahring led all scorers with 17, BeBeau added 11, Treml 8. Khloe Radlinger and Natalee Lueloff each chipped in 4. Laney Paulson had 12 and Gemma Sandor 11 for Washburn.
Butternut improves to 4-1 in conference and 4-4 overall. They will host Bayfield in the first game of a DH with the boys at 5:45 on Thursday.
