IRONWOOD — A Impending blizzard didn’t stop the Bay College Norse from sweeping a doublehearder against Gogebic Community College here Tuesday. The Women won 92-71 and the men picked up a 77-46 victory.

In the women’s game Samsons guard Hannah Vaughn had eight of her 15 points in the first quarter as the Samsons led 20-19 after the first stanza.

Baqy College freshman Aubree Blackburn scored the first two baskets of the second quarter for the Norse to put them up 23-20. The Samsons tied the game at 23 on a jumper by Deztanee Barrera, but Blackburn drove to the basket for a layup to put the Norse back in front 25-23. The Norse took a 42-34 lead into the halftime break.

“We had a rough start in the first half,” Bay women’s coach James Fassett said. “We commited to many fouls and they did a good job of making freethrow and gave us all we could handle at the start.”

In the second half, Bay sophomore Lauren Zawada scored all 25 of her points in the second half including the first five points of the half on a pair of free throws and a 3-pointer from the wing to extend the Norse lead to 47-36.

“I was pretty frustrated in the beginning of the game,” Zawada said. “I told myself at halftime that that was a bad half and new I needed to reset coach said it was a new half and everything started clicking.”

Zawada led the Norse with 25 points and nine rebounds in the game with 18 of them coming in the fourth quarter to seal the win. Nina Bower added 22 off the bench to go with eight rebounds and Makenna Hendrickson had 13 points to go along with nine rebounds, four assists and five steals.

The Samsons were led by Kyla Hanson off the bench with 17 points and five assists. Grace Maule had 15 points to go with five rebounds and four assists.

In the men’s game, it was nip and tuck for the first seven minutes but the defensive intensity from the Norse was too much for the Samsons as they shot only 28 percent from the floor.

Norse freshman Emeson Droubie hit three of his four shots from dowtown including the first basket of the game to go up 3-0.

“Once I saw the first one go in I knew it was going to be a good night,” Droubie said. “It gave me confidence and that transitioned to the defensive side of the ball where we have been playing really well as of late.

As a team the Norse forced 18 turnovers in the game.

“Our enegy and intensity were really good tonight,” Bay men’s coach Matt Johnson said. When you hold teams to 28 percent shooting it puts you in a good position to win games.”

Droubie finished with 12 points, four rebounds, three assists and two blocks. Freshman Ziad Abouali led the Norse 16 points and eight rebounds.
