DEFIANCE – Pettisville limited Antwerp to 7 total field goals and kept the Archers from getting into any type of offensive rhythm as the Blackbirds posted a 32-17 victory in Division IV girls sectional basketball action at Defiance High School Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The Blackbirds opened an 8-6 advantage after 8 minutes of action before Pettisville scored 4 of the 5 second quarter points to push the margin to 12-7 at the intermission.<\/p>\n

Quarter #3 saw the Blackbirds take control, though, as Pettisville picked up 17 points compared to 5 for the Archers in grabbing a 29-12 lead at the end of 3 quarters.<\/p>\n

Heather Oberlin paced the Lady Archer efforts with 9 points while Karsyn Brumett added a 3-pointer for Antwerp, which wraps up the season at 15-9.<\/p>\n

Hope Smith and Chelsea Johanns each picked up a basket and Rachel Williamson had 1.<\/p>\n

Morgan Leppelmeier and Elizabeth Beck both had 9 points to lead the Blackbirds. Kendal Pursel and Sami Tilley each posted 4 markers while Mikayla Graber, Nichole Foor and Brandi Schnitkey picked up 2 points apiece for Pettisville, which moves to 13-10 on the year.<\/p>\n
