Unbeaten Wildcats dump Fort in fourth (12/12/03)
Fort basketball
The Indians simply could not stop Robyn Hoying.
Fort Recovery was right with the Minster Wildcats — rated third in the area in Division IV by the Dayton Daily News — but couldn’t sustain the effort in the final period. Thanks in part to Hoying’s powerful effort inside, Minster stayed undefeated as it pulled away for a 58-43 victory.
The Indians were deadlocked with the Wildcats at 27-27 after 16 minutes of play, and trailed by just three heading into the final period. However, the Tribe struggled to score in the final minutes of the contest, and Minster came away with an 18-6 advantage in the fourth quarter.
Hoying was the biggest part of the Wildcat win. She finished 10-of-11 (91 percent) from the field for a game-high 25 points.
She led Minster (3-0, 1-0 Midwest Athletic Conference) to a 55 percent mark from the field, including 61 percent in the second half.
Karen Brackman and Bridget Slonkosky each followed with 11 points. Brackman had six rebounds, and Hoying added five to lead the Wildcats to a 23-14 rebounding advantage.
Brackman and Valerie Bornhorst each had four assists.
Joscie Kaup scored 12 points, and freshman Holly Stein had 10 for the Indians (1-3, 0-1 MAC). However, the Tribe shot just 40 percent from the field and managed just six trips to the free throw line compared to 19 by Minster.
Jenn Stahl grabbed four Fort Recovery rebounds, and Kaup dished out five assists.
The next game for the Indians is at Jackson Center — ranked fifth in the DDN poll — Saturday at 1 p.m.

Fort Recovery also struggled mightily to score in the junior varsity game against Minster, finishing with a 38-23 defeat.

Renee Evers led the Indians with seven points, and Kelsie Will and Sara Fortkamp each had four. Tiff Gaerke grabbed five rebounds, and Fortkamp had three assists.
