The sixth-seeded Lyle/Pacelli girls basketball team regrouped at halftime and turned it on in a 63-47 win at No. 5 Janesville/Waldorf/Pemberton (10-15 overall) in the first round Section 1A West Division in Janesville Friday.

The Athletics had their top three scorers in foul trouble in the first half as they trailed by three at the break. But in the second half they got back to their pressing defense and they turned the game around.

“If we can keep our girls in the game, we’re a pretty good team and in the second half it was our style,” L/P head coach Brad Walter said.

Nyabang Diang finished with 23 points, 10 rebounds, and four steals for L/P (17-7 overall).

“We had great ball movement and we got it inside to Nya, where she took over in the second half,” Walter said.

Ann Rysavy had 16 points and six steals and Madison Truckenmiller had five points and 10 rebounds for L/P, which will now play Goodhue in Mayo Civic Center Tuesday 7 p.m.

The Wildcats (23-4 overall) are ranked No. in Class ‘A.’

“We’ll play anybody if its in Rochester,” Walter said. “We’ll let it all hang out and try to battle with them.”

L/P scoring: Nyabang Diang, 23; Ann Rysavy, 16; Courtney Walter, 11; Madison Truckenmiller, 5; Maggie Lewison, 4; Dani Felten, 3; Ashley Hinz, 1; free throws: 44 percent (14-for-32)
