It was an incredible night – a record-setting night -- at The Enlow Center.

St. Anthony now has a new all-time scoring leader and notched one of the school’s best come-from-behind victories – all in the same game.

The Lady Bulldogs trailed by double digits in the second half, but staged a terrific comeback in the final eight minutes.

Ady Rios scored just one point in the second half, but it was a big one. After coming up with a steal, she drove the length of the floor and was fouled with just one second to play. Her free throw gave St. Anthony a thrilling 59-58 win over Newton on Senior Night.

Three-and-a-half quarters earlier, Nancy Ruholl moved her name to the top of the school’s all-time scoring list. Her basket at the 4:13 mark of the opening period gave her 1,664 points for her career, moving her ahead of Mike Wente, who amassed 1,663 points before graduating in 1970.

And Ruholl is just a junior. With one more season to go, there’s an excellent chance she will reach the 2,000-point plateau before career comes to an end.

Not surprisingly, it was Ruholl that played a key role in the comeback.

The Lady Bulldogs were down 12 at one point in the third quarter and still trailed by nine, 46-37, going into the final eight minutes. Ruholl scored 12 points and Addi Nuxoll added five more – plus SAHS benefited from a technical foul called on a Newton player -- helping the hosts go on a 22-12 scoring surge.

And when Rios made the last-second free throw, the No. 2 team in Class 1A had good reason to celebrate.

“It was an awesome Last Dance at the Enlow Center, especially for our seniors,” St. Anthony coach Aaron Rios said.

That senior group includes Addi Nuxoll, Kallie Kabbes, Katie Kollman, Ava Faber and Adi Rios.

Until the late rally, the Lady Eagles had led throughout. Camryn Martin scored nine of her team-high 25 points in the first period, helping the guests take a 19-15 lead. The Lady Eagles then increased their cushion to 31-25 at halftime and took the nine-point lead into the final quarter.

Newton is now 19-7 for the season.

Ruholl finished with 31 points, giving her a career total of 1,687 points heading into the postseason. Nuxoll turned in a double-double, scoring 11 points and pulling down 10 rebounds.

The Lady Bulldogs finished their regular season with a 25-4 record.

They will now open postseason play as the top seed in the Neoga Regional. Their first game is scheduled for Monday. They will face either Cowden-Herrick/Beecher City or Neoga. That game is set for 6 p.m.
