Magic

Tuesday night’s 71-49 win over Monticello was highlighted by Senior Ayla Brown reaching her 1,000th career point. She is the third Bulldog player to reach the milestone this season, joining Dani Nuest and Maren Westin.

Fittingly, Brown reached the milestone with a three-point basket in the first half, as she finished the game with 13 points.  Westin had a monster game, scoring 30 points for the Bulldogs with 12 field goals and a perfect 4-for-4 night from the free throw line.

Nuest had six three-pointers in the game en route to her 24 points.  Evelyn Kreft chipped in four points to round out the Becker scoreline.
