Goessel outscored the Eagles by one in the third period, but the Eagles ended the game, making seven free throws in the fourth quarter, with a final score of 63-49.

Bailey hit four three-pointers for 12 points, Courtney Berkholz led the Bluebirds in scoring with 14 and Korey Hiebert added 11. Kara Klassen scored six; Renee Fensky, three; Brittany Dirksen, two; and Trenae Wilson, one point.
Goessel finished the season 10-12 overall.
