The Teutopolis Lady Shoes outscored Mattoon 21-6 in the middle two quarters Thursday night and then had to hang on for a 38-33 victory at home.

The game was tied 11-11 after the opening eight minutes. The Lady Shoes then outscored the Lady Green Wave 7-2 in the second period and 14-4 in the third quarter to build a 32-17 advantage heading into the final period.

Mattoon then went on a surge, outscoring T-Town 16-6 to narrow the gap considerably. The Lady Shoes had only one basket in the final eight minutes and were 4-of-7 from the foul line, but it was enough to secure the victory.

Lexie Niebrugge led THS with 15 points and six rebounds.

The Lady Shoes, now 19-7, will be back in action tonight (Friday). They will travel across the creek to play Effingham.
