Caledonia trailed top-seeded Roseau by 10 with 12:17 left in the second half Friday after making just eight shots from the field over the game’s first 23-plus minutes.

The fourth-seeded Warriors went 6-10 from the field over the next 3:43 as part of a 13-0 run that helped them secure the lead for good.

Seniors Ashley Schroeder and Heidi Bolduan each scored four points during the stretch, and eighth-grader Alexis Schroeder hit a three-pointer as Caledonia (26-4) defeated Roseau 65-55 in the Class 2A semifinals at Williams Arena.

“I think we knew that eventually we’d get (the shots) to go in,” Ashley Schroeder said. “When we miss shots, we don’t … get down on ourselves a lot. We just realize we have to get it and get to the boards, instead of outside shots all the time.”
