Coming off their 52-39 Southern Nebraska Conference win over Superior, Nov. 30, the Sutton Fillies looked to add to their early season winning ways Saturday, Dec. 2, when the Freeman Falcons invaded the Sutton Dome for a matinee performance in front of the Fillies home crowd.
Sutton’s winning ways, in the end, continued, as a steady offensive surge, combined with 17 Freeman turnovers led the Fillies to a 2-0 start with a 39-32 victory to gain their first non-conference win of the 2023-24 season.
First-half action produced a 20-15 halftime lead, with the Fillies scoring 10 points in each of the first two quarters.
The two teams battled close throughout the second half, with Sutton holding the scoring edge in the third and fourth quarters, outscoring the Falcons 19-17 to secure the seven-point victory.
Junior Jacee Haight paced the Sutton offense with 13 points, while sophomore Kyla Griess and senior Reagan Robinson both hit for eight points.
