Top-ranked Munising decks North Dickinson

Girls Basketball

MUNISING — Munising’s calling card recently has been balanced scoring by its girls basketball team.

The Mustangs showed that off again Thursday night as six players scored at least eight points in Munising’s 68-43 victory over North Dickinson.

The No. 1-ranked team in the UP in Class D improved to 15-1 overall and 9-0 in the Skyline Central Conference.

Senior Kianne Wendt led the Mustangs with 15 points and six rebounds while junior Daryn Johnson added 14 points.

“We were a bit deeper, so I was able to shuttle people in and out,” Munising coach Matt Mattson said. “We wanted to keep the tempo in our favor. We kept our press on and I think that wore them down a bit. We did a good job on their quality guards.”

JuliAnn Wickman led the Nordics (7-9, 3-4) with 20 points. They host North Central on Monday.

Munising plays at Norway on Tuesday.
