Posted

FAIRFIELD - The Lady Bloodhounds are starting 2022 close to the same way they started 2021, rolling to five straight wins to start the season.

The Lady Hounds rolled Fairfield on the road Friday night 67-17 with three players in double figures.

Camille Kruse again led the Bloodhounds with 17 points and seven rebounds. She doled out five assists.

Freshman Dayonna Davis added 13 points, four steals, and two blocks while Irelynd Sargent had 11 points, seven boards, and eight steals in the win.

Taylor Johnson had seven points, seven boards, and blocked two shots. Senior Molly Knipe had six points and three steals.

Fort Madison held the Trojans scoreless in the first quarter with some smothering defensive pressure racing out to an 11-0 lead. They would extend the lead to 36-11 at the half behind Davis' 10-point second quarter.

The Trojans were able to hold Kruse to just five points in the first half, which allowed Davis and Sargent to get open. The two combined for 17 first-half points.

Fort Madison went to work again in the second half, holding Fairfield to just six total points. The Hounds made some adjustments at halftime to get Kruse more open looks and the senior poured in 12 points in the half.

Ashlyn Lisk had nine points for Fairfield (0-5).

The Lady Hounds travel to Keokuk to take on the 2-2 Chiefs Friday night and they play in the River Rivalry Classic at Clark County on Saturday afternoon, and West Hancock at John Wood Community College.
