Tuesday Reports 2.18.2025

D1 HIGH FIVE

Gianna Kneepkens, Utah, Duluth Marshall 16

Jenna Johnson, Utah, Wayzata 9

Somah Kamara, Tennessee State, Cooper 2

Totals: 27

Only six games meaning only twelve teams in action. Of those twelve teams two had Minnesota connections with Utah having a pair, both starters. Kamara also starts for Tennessee State. That means a high trio.  Kneepkens made state and was a finalist in the virus year. She also has the state tournament record for points scored with 67 vs. Providence.

THE DAY AHEAD
