Cedar girls get in front of Creighton early

HARTINGTON — The Cedar Catholic Lady Trojans jumped out front early and never looked back on their way to a 65-53 win over Creighton last week.

The Lady Trojans built a quick 17-10 first-quarter lead then extended that lead to 37-20 at the halftime break. Creighton tried to rally in the second half, outscoring the home team 33-28, but it was too little, too late.

The Lady Trojans earned the win on the strength of its shooting, hitting 52 percent of their field goal attempts in the game.

Freshman Makenna Noecker had the hot hand, connecting for 19 points. Senior stalwart Abby Hochstein also had a solid game, hitting for 17.
