The Wadena-Deer Creek Wolverines had no answer for Henning's Ellie Dague Friday in a 69-49 Park Region Conference loss to the Hornets.
Dague poured in 32 points for the Hornets, who won for the sixth time in seven games and improved their season mark to 14-6. The Hornets climbed to 6-5 in the tight Park Region Conference race. Henning is one of five PRC teams with a winning conference record.
"Dague is a very good player...offensively and defensively," WDC head coach Tori Ehlert said. "She attacked the basket well and we couldn't slow her down. She anticipated well on defense and was able to get easy baskets because of that."
Dague was 15 of 26 on field goal attempts.
Paige Wallevand backed up Dague with a 15 points and 15 rebounds.

The Wolverines dropped to 3-8 in the PRC and 6-15 overall.
The Wolverines will host Pillager Thursday in a Park Region tilt.
