Norwalk Girls Drop Opener
The Lady Warriors opened the 2013-2014 basketball season at Indianola and lost
54-41. The Iowa Girls Athletic Union is having officials emphasize no illegal contact
this year and it was evident on the court as both teams were whistled for a total of 59
fouls. Norwalk opened with a basket from inside the paint as Jaycie Owens found
Tori VanVelzen for a bucket. After a couple of free throws, the Warriors found them-
selves up 4-1.
The Warriors led 8-6 with 3:20 left, but went on a scoreless streak for almost five
minutes when VanVelzen hit a free throw 15 seconds into the second quarter to cut
Indianola's lead to 9-17. The Indians outscored Norwalk 13-9 in the second and led
30-17 at the break. The Warriors closed the gap in the third, trailing 40-28. Owens
and VanVelzen both scored buckets in the final frame with senior Elyse Rice getting
assists on both plays. Kierstin Vaske hit from long range and Rice added six points
from the charity stripe, but in the end it was not enough to overcome the deficit.
VanVelzen led Norwalk with 11 points. Rice was next with 10. Vaske finished
with seven, Sidney Logan six, Owens four and Hannah Hoover, Hannah Hegland
and Gabby Grove all chipped in one each. Hannah Poppens, Olivia Lucas, Morgan
Westvold and Shelby Nelson also played. Norwalk was a cold 16-38 from the free-
throw line for 42 percent. The Indians tossed in 31 of 48 free throws for 64 percent.
Lady Warriors Defend Home Court
Norwalk opened a six-game home stand with an impressive 46-39 win over ADM.
Tori VanVelzen started the Warriors off with two of her game high 18 points to even
the score at 2-2; one minute later she dropped in two free throws to give Norwalk a
cushion they would not relinquish. Jaycie Owens hit from the top of the arc and the
lead was five. Elyse Rice added a couple of field goals and Kierstin Vaske drove
baseline for a bucket and after a quarter the Warriors led 13-6. Hannah Hegland
opened the second quarter with a three-pointer and VanVelzen stepped to the free-
throw line five more times. VanVelzen would add a couple of field goals and Sidney
Logan put back a missed shot and the Warriors took a 28-15 lead into the locker
room.
The Tigers turned up the defensive pressure forcing several turnovers in the third
to close the gap. Hegland added another three, VanVelzen scored on an inbounds
play and Hannah Hoover added a pair of free throws for all the Warriors scoring in
the third. The final quarter the Warriors and ADM were virtually even on scoring for
the final margin of victory. Rice scored on a fast break as Vaske found her in the lane.
Vaske later added a three-pointer to put Norwalk up by 10. Vaske finished with
eight, Rice seven, Hegland six, Owensthree and Hoover two.
The Warriors even their record at 1-1.
