Eden Prairie fell to Anoka during the regular season but won the all-important rematch. The No. 4 seed Eagles triumphed 67-57 in Tuesday’s Class 4A girls’ basketball quarterfinal on the strength of a full roster.

“It’s called physical therapy,” joked Eden Prairie coach and former Timberwolves player Chris Carr. Emma Boehm and Esabelle Levine were injured during the first Anoka game and Carr said, “they are two really big contributors for us.”

The tandem pumped in a combined 18 points into the offense while helping hold Anoka forward Claire Lundberg to nine points — seven below her season average.

Trailing 36-32 at halftime, Anoka made its move and built a 47-41 lead. Ashley Bray scored eight points during that stretch with Lundberg adding four points.

Eden Prairie took the blow, then returned fire. A 17-2 run ensured the Eagles would never trail again. Making up for lost time, Boehm and Levine combined for a trio of three-pointers during the surge.

“We knew we could stay with them if we could control the ball,” Anoka coach Scott Antl said. “But we broke down; we turned the ball over way too much today and that was a fear of mine.”

Sensing the Tornadoes were wilting, Eden Prairie charged.

“When you’re on a run you just want to keep pushing,” said junior forward Martha Kuderer, who led all scorers with 19 points. “It gives you so much energy to make the next play.”
