Brodhead gets past Dodgeville

By GAZETTE STAFF Monday, Feb. 9, 2009

Kristen Ruchti and her Brodhead High teammates put a successful capper on their big basketball week with a 47-43 nonconference win Saturday night at Dodgeville.

Ructi, a 6-1 senior, scored points in leading the Cardinals to their seventh straight victory and a 14-3 season record. They lead the Rock Valley South at 12-1 after Thursday night’s pivotal 55-41 win over Orfordville Parkview.

Lewis added six of her 15 points in the fourth quarter, and Ruchti made five of seven free throws to close out the victory after Brodhead had built a 30-21 lead.
