The Carlton Bulldogs jumped out to a fast start against Wrenshall Thursday night in Carlton to close out the 2011-2012 regular season. The Bulldogs picked up the 68-59 win in this Polar League Conference match-up, the conference win had the Bulldogs finishing 5-10 in conference play.

Carlton jumped out to a big first half lead and outscored the Wrens by 26 points in the first half to lead at the break by a score of 48-22. The Bulldogs, who were seeking to improve on last season’s win total did that last night under second year head coach Lisa Johnson.

The Wrens made a big comeback in the second half, outscoring the Bulldogs by 17 points but the Wrens second half comeback wasn’t quite enough as the Bulldogs come away with the nine point victory at home. Wrenshall was seeking their fourth win of the season but came up just short.

The Bulldogs were led by Lindsey Dahl-Holm, who finished with 27 points. Brooke Camps chipped in with 14 including two 3-pointers, Clarissa Nelson added 11, Taylor Lassen finished with 10, and Tori Zime added 6 points in the Carlton win.


The Wrens were led by Maria Burcar, who matched Dahl-Holm with 27 points. Natalie Peaney scored 11, it was Cassie Wimmer with 8, Delaney Kittle chipped in with 6, Kaitlyn Kelly 4, and Brittany O’Brien ended with 1 point for the Wrens.

The Bulldogs finished their season with an overall record of 8-14 on the season; they snap a six game losing streak as they head into the section playoffs beginning on Tuesday night. The Bulldogs will host FDL in a play in game on Tuesday night.

The Wrenshall Wrens finish with an overall record of 3-19 on the season and they are also in action again on Tuesday in a play in game against Silver Bay. The winner of that contest will meet the sub-sections number one seed the Barnum Bombers Thursday night at 6:00 pm at Hermantown High School.
