Browne pushed the lead
back to four at 29-25.
But Sarah Orr scored
for Joseph to cut the defi cit

tracked down the ball after
a missed free throw and got
it to Aimee Meyers, who in
turn found Maggie Miller
for a layup to tie the score
with 4:47 to play.
Cooper Nave’s free throw
gave Joseph the lead, and
Meyers scored with 1:05 to
play to extend the lead to
three.
Joseph held on despite
missing six free throws
in the fi nal 36.7 seconds,
thanks in large part to Imbler
having a handful of close

Wells’ basket inside that
trimmed the margin back
to four was matched by a
Jada Gray free throw to end
the third and then another
Wigen fi eld goal — this on
a putback — to stretch the
lead to seven, and another
3-pointer later in the fourth
by Kirkland gave Enterprise
a lead of 39-31 with 7:04 to
play.
The Bobcats chipped
away, with two free throws
and a 3-pointer by Wells
cutting the margin to three,
and a Kaylin Nowak free
throw making it 39-37 with
3:51 to play.
But Enterprise had the
fi nal say. After the teams
traded turnovers, Maci Marr
broke away on a runout for a
layup and a four-point lead,
and Emily Love scored on a
similar play to push the mar-
gin back to six with 1:13 to
go. Enterprise fi nished off
the victory at the free-throw
line.
“It really boosts our con-
fi dence, and it shows us we
can play with any team in
the league, and that we have
a good chance, if we keep
up with our good playing
and teamwork, that we can
win this league,” Marr said.
The teams played neck-
and-neck in the fi rst half.

nine in the fi rst quarter and
14 in the opening half. The
eff ort helped Enterprise
cling to a 13-12 lead after

nine points on three 3-point-
ers, and three players —
Marr, Wigen and Alex Row-
ley — had six points apiece.
Wells had 14 points to
lead Union, but standout

Enterprise was ahead

clinics. The tests will be done in an
outreach trailer in the Cloverleaf park-

“The volumes have been so high
at our clinic here that we’re doing this
to try to create some space and allevi-
ate some of the burden that is coming
through our clinic,” hospital Commu-

“We do not have the testing sup-

wen chipped away to get
within six at halftime, and

three quarters. The Outlaws
regained their form in the
fourth, with both Maci Marr
and Madi Wigen each scor-

Instead, individuals with symp-
toms or who have been exposed and
called the clinic may get tested at the
Cloverleaf.
“We are still off ering testing at all
clinics, but the testing trailer at the
Cloverleaf will be utilized to increase
the capacity of the number of tests that
can be run on any given day,” Pace
said.
If an individual needs tested, they
can call 541-426-7900.
