Top Performer: Raigan Barrett, Rogers

19 points in the 49-45 loss to Sumner

Sumner 49, Rogers 45: Despite Raigan Barrett, a UW softball commit, scoring a game-high 19 points, the Spartans rallied for the win.

Kelsey Bell led Sumner with 18 points and coach Jordan Moog said Callie Stevens’ had just as big of an impact.

“She’s like our quarterback,” Moog said. “She commands the court. However, they all worked their butts off, drove to the rim and slowed the game down.”

By the end of the game, it had turned into a gritty, ugly battle, Moog said. But whenever Bell would draw a foul, the Spartans could count on her to convert her free throws.

“She’s automatic from the free throw line,” Moog said. “She was a beast on the boards tonight, too. I wouldn’t be surprised if she got a double-double.”

Avery Campbell added 10 points for Rogers.
