Owatonna Sweeps Winona on Court, Rink
Owatonna High School girls basketball coach Lindsey Hugstad-Vaa figured Tuesday's game with Winona would be closer than the 31-point OHS victory on the road earlier this season. She felt Winona would make some adjustments. The Winhawks, playing for the first time since February 19, came through with an inspired performance, but Owatonna still won 57-50.
Trailing 8-4 Owatonna went on a 12-1 run but any thoughts of a blowout were dashed by the three-point shooting of the Winhawks who hit a staggering nine treys and hardly missed from outside the arc. The Huskies never trailed after that outburst, but Winona got within one point several times through the rest of the game.
