After losing just one game in their first 15 contests, the Awesome Blossoms girls basketball team lost in overtime for the second straight night when they fell to Medford (9-4 overall, 8-3 Gopher) 55-53 in Medford Tuesday.

Freshman Macy Lembke hit a game-tying three-pointer for BP (14-3 overall, 11-2 Gopher) to force OT.

The energy we expended last night definitely affected us at the beginning of the game as we got off to a slow start on both ends of the court,” BP head coach John Bruns said. “We did get things going pretty well late in the first half and through most of the second half, but foul trouble and Medford making their free throws caught up with us.  Medford played very well and took advantage of some miscues we had down the stretch.”
