FELCH -- The North Dickinson girls basketball team broke a short two-game losing streak Tuesday with a 45-24 Skyline Central Conference victory over Norway in Felch.
Ashton Hord rang up 25 points to pace the Nordics (2-2) while Micah Lindholm recorded a double-double with 11 points and 15 rebounds.
"Ashton had a great game tonight," North Dickinson coach Kirk Mattson said. "She shot the ball really well and was looking for her shot the whole game."
"North Dickinson was exactly what we expected," Norway coach Joe Tinti said. "They are a seasoned group with depth, and Ashton had a nice night as typical."
Tinti added that his team's inability to convert on offense simply put too much pressure on the defense.
Mattson credited the Knights (2-2. 2-1) for their toughness on the boards.
"I thought Norway outhustled us for rebounds in the first half," Mattson said. "We couldn't get our transition game going, which I think is our strongest suit, because we didn't rebound."
Despite that, the Nordics led from the start – 13-5 after the first quarter, 25-7 at the break and 35-14 after three quarters.
"North Dickinson is a nice team and it will be exciting to watch them work through the conference as the season progresses," Tinti said.
