The Pirates went on to win the NTC Tourney title while St. Anthony finished third.<\/p>\n<p>But this time around in regular season play, the Bulldogs put it all together for a 35-33 regular season victory Monday evening.<\/p>\n<p>St. Anthony edged out to a 7-6 opening quarter lead as Jackie Vonderheide put in a three-pointer, Lilly Gannaway two free throws and Addie Lauritzen a basket.<\/p>\n<p>Alysa Dittamore kept the Pirates close with four points.<\/p>\n<p>A low-scoring second period saw the Bulldogs have another one-point edge, 4-3 to lead 11-9 at halftime.<\/p>\n<p>Nancy Ruholl, the Bulldogs leading scorer, then went to work. After scoring two points in the first half, she came back with a 14-point second half. Ruholl tallied six points in the third quarter while Ali Kollmann added three and the Bulldogs led 24-18 going into the final period.<\/p>\n<p>The Pirates mounted a comeback with a 15-11 final quarter, had the ball as the seconds ticked away but couldn&#8217;t get that last basket to tie the score. Jade Carr scored seven and Alysa Dittamore six in the final period but it was too late.<\/p>\n<p>The Bulldogs&#8217; Ruholl came up big with two three-pointers and two free throws for eight in the final period. Lauritzen connected on a basket and Gannaway a free throw and the Bulldogs had pulled out the two-point win.<\/p>\n<p>Ruholl tallied 16 on four field goals, three from beyond the arc, and five of 10 at the line.<\/p>\n<p>Cumberland was led by Miller with five baskets, two from three-point range, for 12 and Dittamore with five baskets and two free throws, also for 12.<\/p>\n<p>Both teams will finish out regular season play Thursday before regionals begin. St. Anthony will travel to Newton while Cumberland will head to Tri-County.<\/p>\n<p><strong>At Toledo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>ST.
