BELOIT - Monroe seniors Kirsten Vetterli and Taylor Barrett combined for 35 points to propel the Cheesemakers to a 62-54 win over Beloit Memorial in a non-conference game Tuesday, Feb. 4.

"It's just one of those things where you hit some shots and it just becomes contagious," Monroe coach Sam Mathiason said. "We had nice balance and I thought we did a good job of moving the ball."

The Cheesemakers got a spark in the first quarter on 3-pointers by Barrett and sophomore Brooke Adams. The Cheesemakers led 37-28 at the half.

Beloit Memorial's Daijah Evans scored a game-high 20 points. She scored 13 points in the first half and teammate Sherriah Anderson scored nine of her 11 points in the first half on three 3-pointers.

"Part of it was on the defensive end," Mathiason said. "We had to limit their touches. I thought we did a pretty good job in the second half."

Monroe junior Alacia Keegan scored nine points. Senior Whitney Disch and Adams each added eight points.
