The No. 2-ranked Knights only have one blemish on the season. It came at the hands of NRHEG. They weren’t bound to let the opportunity to avenge that setback escape.

“We came out determined. We wanted another opportunity to play them,” Knights senior forward Siri Sviggum said. “We didn’t play our best against them the last time.”

The Knights dominated overmatched Esko (26-6) from the outset, building a 32-14 lead at halftime en route to a 60-36 romp. The Eskomos were 4-for-19 from the floor in the opening half.

Sviggum led a balanced Knights attack with 18 points. Junior forward Megan Quam and freshman guard Mara Quam added 12 and 10 points, respectively.

“We’re so versatile,” Sviggum said. “Everybody contributes, scoring, passing or rebounding. We’re a solid team.”
