A huge second half performance from the Becker girls basketball team gave the Bulldogs a 70-60 win over St. Francis last Friday.

The Saints had a blistering first half, racing to a 37-29 lead behind balanced scoring a high energy defense.  But the Bulldog youngsters were not deterred, as they poured in 41 points after intermission claim the M8 win.

Adele Changamire scored 19 points (eight rebounds and five assists) for the Bulldogs and sister Andie put in 21 points, 15 in the second half.  Rowan Hausmann added seven rebounds for the Bulldogs.

But perhaps the biggest statement came from Becker eighth grader Alyse Denne, who led all scorers with 25 points, as she rained in five threes from deep territory and also went a perfect six-for-six from the free throw line.
