ALLENDALE — The visiting Spring Lake Lakers put their first-half struggles behind them and surged to a 48-42 victory over the Allendale Falcons on Friday night.
Allendale led 33-22 at the half, but a strong third quarter by the Lakers gave them a 36-35 lead heading into the final quarter. The Laker defense continued to stymie the Falcons throughout the final quarter to preserve the victory.
Ella Andree poured in 21 points to lead the Lakers. Brooke Bolthouse added 14 points and Emma Nicles had seven points and five rebounds. Alexa Carter had four points and seven rebounds. Tessa Britt, who was battling illness, came through with eight rebounds.
Spring Lake (6-5, 3-4) travels to Grand Haven Saturday for the rescheduled “Battle of the Bridge” contest. That game begins at 6 p.m.
