It was a 32- 16 point advantage in the final frame that sealed the deal for Nixyaawii, includ ing hitting 11 of 12 free throw tries in the quarter. A Nixyaawii three pointer with 6:08 remaining put them in front for good as they stretched the lead for the final 15 point advan tage. Tanner Rietmann led the Cardinals with 26 points, 13 rebounds and three blocked shots. Matt Hams added 18 points and nabbed three steals. Adam Collin was the other Cardi nal in double figures with 10 points. The Cards shot 52% from the field but had a dismal night at the line, making just three of 12 free throw attempts. The high-flying Golden Eagles shot 54% from the floor, which included seven three pointer and made 87% of their 30 free throw attempts. A telling statistic was 24 turnovers for lone compared to seven for the Golden Eagles. “This loss was one that we need to leam from,” said Coach Dennis Stefani. “Turnovers hurt us and putting to the foul line 30 times hurt us. It seems like we were trying to play with the attitude of not to lose. It made us timid and created many mistakes late in the game.” After the tough loss on Friday, the Cardinals traveled to Arlington on Saturday, January 9. The Honkers made it a game, leading 14-12 at the end of the first quarter and trailing just 20-26 at the half. But the Cardinals spread out the scoring with four play ers in double figures and outscored Arlington 35-25 in the second half to take the 61-45 win. Tanner Rietmann led the team in scoring for the second night in a row with 18 points. He also dominated the team’s rebounding effort with 17 rebounds and added five blocked shots. Matt Hams added 15 points with five assists and four steals while Zac Orem and Adam Collin each had 11. The Cards shot 54% from the floor and also were able to limit turnovers, committing just 13 in the game. “This win was good as we needed to re bound after Friday’s tough loss,” said Coach Dennis Stefani. “We still aren’t playing as aggressive on offense as we should but it was a good performance on the defensive end and that made the difference."

The Cards’conference record now stands at 3-1. In a highly antici pated match-up, the lone Cardinals were outgunned by the visiting Nixyaawii Golden Eagles 93-78 in a game played in lone on Friday January 8. The fast- paced game was lone’s in the early going and close all the way until early in the fourth quarter where the Golden Eagles were able to pull away. Deadly 26-30 free throw shoot ing and killer three point ers for Nixyaawii plus too many costly turnovers for lone resulted in the final outcome.
