A back-and-forth game for the first 26 minutes suddenly turned Becker’s way as the Bulldogs (3-4) used a late 25-12 run to upend Litchfield 74-61 in a non-conference game last Friday night on the road.
The Bulldogs led 27-26 at halftime and the game was tied at 49-49 with 10 minutes remaining. But sparked by Mauren Thiesen, Becker ended the game outscoring the Dragons by 13.

Amanda Lindsay added 11 and Whitney Raygor 10 for the Bulldogs.
