Lady Owls Survive Overtime Against Ortonville, Prevail 41-37 Over Trojans

The Hancock Lady Owls received a shock to the system tonight in the form of an overtime battle with Pheasant Conference rival Ortonville, at the Hancock High School gymnasium.
The Trojans had upset on their minds, while remembering the thrashing they received in December when they lost 69-50 in the first meeting.

The Lady Owls, who trailed 20-13 at the half, outscored the Trojans 4-0 in the overtime frame.

Tara Thielke scored a game-high 15 points for Hancock, including two free-throws in the extra period. Jenny Noordmans added 11 points and Chelsea Voorhees eight rebounds.

The Trojans fall to 2-2 in the Pheasant Conference and 8-8 overall. The Lady Owls are 5-0 in the conference and 17-1 overall.

The Lady Owls' next action is Saturday (Feb 3) at 7:30pm at the Hancock High School, when they host the Minnewaska Lakers in non-conference action. The Lakers are currently 10-6 and on a three-game winning streak.
