The Becker girls basketball team went on the road last Friday and came away with a convincing 73-27 win over their Hwy. 10 rivals from Big Lake.

Eleven different Bulldogs scored in the game, as Coach Dan Baird cleared the bench after his team scored 40 first half points and held the Hornets to just 10 points before intermission.

Andie Changamire was too much to handle in the first half, as she scored 17 points in the opening stanza and had 27 for the game.  Six different Bulldogs scored in the opening half, as Adele Changamire added eight, including a pair of three pointers.

The win pushed Becker to a 6-1 conference record, while Big Lake fell to 1-5.
