SULLIVAN — In spite of dropping pool-play action against St. James (54-15) and Sullivan (58-30), Matt Kramme’s Owensville Dutchgirl basketball team still had a shot at leaving the Peoples Bank Holiday Classic (PBHC) with hardware last week facing Salem’s Lady Tigers in the consolation championship game.

Trailing 10-9 after one quarter, Owensville nearly doubled up Salem 29-16 over the next two quarters helping them to a 45-38 victory snapping a five-game losing streak.

Abbey Quilacio and Cameron Ryerson each led the Dutchgirls with 15 points and three assists nearly followed in double figures by Lainey Moss with eight points, four steals and three rebounds.

Shae Abernathy kicked in four points followed closely by Piper Koelling with three points and a team-high five rebounds.
