The Audubon Wheelers improved to 5-1 on the season with a big overtime road win over the AHSTW Lady Vikes on Friday night. It was a hard fought back and forth battle for the entire night but three point shots and free throws proved to be the difference. The Wheelers hit 9 three pointers on the night, including two key ones in overtime. Aleah Hermensen hit a three to open up the overtime session, and a short while later Leah Subbert followed with another on her only field goal of the night.

The Wheelers went 14-17 from the free throw line in the second half when they had a foul edge. They finished 17-20 from the line for the night.  The Wheelers employed a selective zone defense for most of the night, sagging off some of the Lady Vikes to double team others at times. Audubon Head Coach Darran Miller said he was proud of the way the team executed the game plan and kept rallying.

Audubon was led by 16 points each from Aleah Hermensen and Rylie Hartl. Leah Subbert also ended up in double digits with 10 points, all of those points coming in the fourth quarter and overtime. Coach Miller said Subbert stepping up late in the game is just the type of player she is.

Audubon improves to 5-1 on the season and will next travel to Riverside on Tuesday.

AHSTW was led by 12 points from Claire Harris and 11 from Claire Denning. The Lady Vikes suffer their first loss of the season and are now 5-1. They will host Griswold on Monday.
