Sports Wrapups: Nov. 28

Muskego girls basketball

Facing one of the top teams in the state in their season opener, the Warriors dropped a 57-47 decision to Beaver Dam on Saturday night at Brookfield Central.

The Golden Beavers were rated third in Division 2 by Wissports.com and feature a number of talented and experienced players.

"It's a good, athletic team," coach Brian Hirtz said. "They (the Beavers) were already in sync. This was a good opening game for us. It showed us the things we've got to work on."

Jessica Mlachnik led Muskego with 11 points, while Shannon Riley added eight points, Jessica Cattani seven and Julia Keegan and Kaitlyn Hein six each.

"We saw some glimpses of good things," Hirtz continued. "We need to play more under control. We had some turnovers and rushed some shots."
