The River Queen basketball teams split last night against Davenport West.

Leading the scoring for the Queens were Lilly Hankins with 8, Samantha Powell and Phoebe Levine with 7, Kassidy Eggers 6, Arra Greene 4, and German foreign exchange student Anna Moser with 3. In the varsity game, the Queens were even with the West Falcons through the first 3 quarters until the Queens finally were able to get up by 5 points midway through the 4th quarter but were not able to hold the lead. With some opportunities to tie the game late, the Queens rallied multiple times but couldn't get their shots to drop and lost the battle with one last shot at the buzzer to win the game that hit the rim and bounced out. Leading the Queens in scoring were Ali Haskel and Aubrey Fergurson with 12, Carryn Sattler with 8, and Lilly Hankins with 7. Leading rebounder in the MAC Conference Aubrey Fergurson continued to grab every board she could and ended up with 18. Sattler also had 11 boards while Haskell had 4 steals.
