The Audubon Wheelers girls basketball team picked up their second win of the season on Thursday night over Boyer Valley 61-33. Audubon blew the game open with a terrific third quarter. The Wheelers led by just six at halftime but turned it into a 19 point lead by the end of the third quarter. Jaci Christensen led the way with 11 of her 18 points in that quarter. After the game she said the Wheelers just talked about turning up the defensive pressure at halftime.

Christensen was double-teamed a lot on the block early in the game but as the defensive pressure ramped up that gave her some more room to be effective in the third quarter.

Aleah Hermansen was also big for Audubon, she dropped in 15 of her game-high 22 points in the second half to help the Wheelers improve to 2-4. Audubon will be right back at it on Friday night with a home game against Logan-Magnolia.

Boyer Valley was led by 9 points from Talia Burkhart and 8 from Kylie Petersen. The Bulldogs fell to 1-6 and will travel to Coon Rapids-Bayard on Friday.
