West Iron County girls beat L’Anse, 46-39

Girls Basketball

L’ANSE — West Iron County snapped a fourth-quarter deadlock and defeated L’Anse 46-39 in West PAC girls basketball Wednesday.

The Wykons (15-4, 5-3) held a 19-18 halftime lead but the Hornets evened the score at 34 after three quarters.

“We missed a lot of easy-chance buckets and L’Anse held us in check with a 3-2 defense,” WIC head coach Eric Shamion said.

Wykons outscored the Hornets 12-5 in the fourth quarter.

“We set up a full-court press that led to turnovers and helped win the ball game,” Shamion said of the fourth quarter.

Eden Golliher and Colbi Laturi each scored 12 points for WIC. Anna Malmquist chipped in nine. Emily Nelson, playing for the first time since suffering a concussion Feb. 8, added six points.

The Wykons shot 13 of 25 from the free-throw line.

“We’re better than a 50 percent-shooting team,” Shamion said.

Taylor Brown’s 18 points topped L’Anse.

L’Anse won the JV game.
