Hortonville 70
Shawano 37
Courtney Vomastic had eight points, Megan Klitzke scored seven and Briana Boda added six for the Hawks (10-14), whose season ended at the hands of the state’s No. 3-ranked team in Division 2. Hortonville improved to 20-3 with the win.
“They’re a good team,” Shawano coach Ryan Koenig said. “Their defensive intensity got after us a little. But the positives were abundant for us this season. It was a really special group — everyone had such a strong commitment to what we’re doing. Their accomplishments were endless.”
Among the myriad achievements for the Hawks was their first double-digit win season since 1999, and their first postseason victory in 15 years.
“We’re losing three great seniors (Vomastic, Boda, Courtney Ainsworth), but this group really set the bar for the program,” Koenig said. “They made a statement — they all bought into what we’re doing here. The next class can build on what we’ve started here. We can hold our heads up.”
