Aurora’s girls were prime for an upset to begin the Central Conference tournament, but ultimately came up a play or two short in the final seconds.
The Lady Huskies pushed Columbus Lakeview to the brink, but the host Vikings held on for a 34-31 win Jan. 24 to start the Central Conference tournament.
Aurora coach Kelly Krueger mentioned the Lakeview game showed some maturity from her group and the ability to keep moving forward all night.
“We truly believed this was a game that we could win and I think that also helped us to stay in the game,” she said. “It was a tough loss because we worked so hard, and were so close at the end, but fell short. If we could have had a few more shots to fall and a few less turnovers, I believe there would have been a different outcome.”
