The Sigourney Savages wrapped up the girls’ basketball regular season with a seventh straight win, defeating HLV Friday night 39-31. Sigourney jumped out to a 10-4 lead through a quarter of play and were in front 22-15 at halftime. HLV cut the deficit to four points going into the final period, but the Savages outscored the Warriors 8-4 in a slugfest final eight minutes.

Junior Carly Goodwin hit a pair of three-point buckets and scored a game-high 16 points. Sophomore Josephine Moore added eight points, seven rebounds and two steals to give Sigourney their ninth win in the last 10 games. The Savages are 15-7 ahead of the postseason.

Sigourney starts the playoffs tonight by hosting Moulton-Udell in the first round of the Class 1A-Region 8 tournament. Goodwin leads the Savages with better than 11-and-a-half points per game scored, while Moore is putting up almost 10 points and seven rebounds per contest. Both players will look to be at their best against a Moulton-Udell team that is winless this season.
