No. 9 Calvin Lady Bulldogs didn’t allow more than five points in any quarter and shut down Erick 37-18 in a Class B Regional Tournament contest Thursday in Verden. Calvin improved to 20-7 on the year, while the Lady Bearcats fell to 13-14.

“We played incredibly hard on defense and contested every shot they attempted. We did not allow one clear look at the rim all night,” said Calvin head coach Nathan Holland. “Erick is well-coached, and (Justin Janz) wanted to slow the game down. We played into it, but we were just fortunate to have jumped out to a small lead early.”

Calvin led 10-3 after the first quarter and extended its advantage to 20-8 by halftime.

Holland said the Erick defense focused on Calvin’s guard play and CHS post player Hannah Harris took advantage, scoring a game-high 22 points.

“They wanted to take our two best guards out of the game and that led to Hannah Harris being played one-on-one on the block, and she was able to carry us offensively,” Holland said.

Shantel Porter hit Calvin’s lone 3-point basket and scored seven points for the Lady Bulldogs.

Calvin — which dropped a 47-43 decision to No. 5 Duke Saturday night — faces Granite (13-14) at 3 p.m. Thursday in consolation play of the Class A Area Tournament at Chickasha High School.
