BEAVER DAM — The Aquinas High School girls basketball team picked up its first victory over the season on Saturday by dropping Stevens Point Pacelli 72-50 at the Beaver Dam Classic.
The Blugolds (1-1) held the Cardinals (1-1), who won 45 games the past two seasons and beat Wausau West by 33 points on Friday, to five field goals in the second half.
Aquinas senior Sammy Davis was dominant with 28 points, 17 rebounds, five assists and four steals. She made 11 of 18 shots against Pacelli and scored 53 points and had 23 rebounds during the two-game weekend tournament.
Junior guards Eva Willenbring and Ava Fernholz each added 10 points for the Blugolds, who host Madison Edgewood — last season’s WIAA Division 2 state runner-up — on Tuesday. The Crusaders, who have beaten Aquinas two straight times, have not yet played this season.
Fernholz also had five assists and five rebounds, and Willenbring made two of the team’s five 3-pointers. Senior Alaina Elias added eight points and four steals.
