Welcome back Lexie Niebrugge.

T-Town’s leading scorer, who has been sidelined with a leg injury since the season opened, returned to the lineup Monday night and made her presence felt immediately.

She hit a 3-pointer and scored seven first-quarter points, helping the Lady Shoes grab an early double-digit lead, en route to a 68-37 decision at home over Sullivan.

Niebrugge, who made 4-of-6 from behind the arc, led THS with 17 points. Hope Bueker, who has also been out due to an injury, saw action, as well, and contributed four points to the win.

The Lady Shoes built a 19-9 lead after eight minutes and then expanded it to 29-19 at intermission. THS then went on a 21-10 scoring spree in the third quarter to build the margin to 50-29.

T-Town had three players in double figures. Olivia Niemerg scored 14 points and Ciara Roepke added 10. Niemerg led the team with five steals and Kaitlyn Schumacher pulled down a game-high nine rebounds.

The Lady Shoes improved to 5-1 on the season. They will play Monday at Pana.
