Chaska, ranked No. 3 in Class 4A by Minnesota Basketball News, used a balanced offensive attack and a relentless, swarming team defense to wear Cooper down. Four Chaska players — Heyer, Kennedy Sanders (20 points), Kaylee Van Eps (12 points) and Kayla Hendrickson (10 points) — had double-digit points totals in the game. 

On defense, Chaska (7-0, 7-0) racked up 18 steals, including four from Sanders, against a Cooper squad that came into the game averaging 71.1 points per game.

Center Kierra Wheeler led Cooper (7-1, 5-1) with 20 points. The senior left the game with just over four minutes remaining in the second half with a leg injury and did not return.

With the triumph, Chaska is perched atop the Metro West Conference standings by itself and has extended its winning streak against Cooper to three games.
