AUDUBON - Wheeler seniors Susie Bylund and Haillie Anthofer both finished with 18 points apiece to help lead Audubon past Oakland Riverside 67-50 Friday night at AHS. 

It was “Pink-Out Night” at Audubon High School as the school held a fundraiser for cancer research. The girls’ team wore pink uniforms to honor the event.

A big second half, including a 23-point fourth quarter tore things open late after three quarters of relatively tight play.

The Wheelers shot better than 50 percent from the floor (22-of-43), and they picked up 22 points from the free throw line. Riverside, conversely, hit just 16-of-42 attempts from the floor, and a cool shooting touch in the fourth quarter allowed Audubon to pull away. The victory evened Audubon’s record at 6-6 and snapped a three game skid for the Wheelers.
