SPIRIT LAKE — Taryn Soumas made two of her four 3-pointers in the third quarter as the host Timberlake Tigers pulled away to beat their in-district rival Lakeland Hawks 48-35 in nonleague play on Tuesday night.

Soumas, who scored eight points in the quarter, finished with a game-high 18 for Timberlake (2-1).

Lakeland (0-2) trailed 20-18 at halftime, but took a three-point lead early in the third quarter before Timberlake took control.

“We finally got some shots to fall,” Timberlake coach Matt Miller said. “I was happy with the looks we got in the first half, but nothing was falling.”

Brooke Jessen added 15 points for Timberlake.

Katy Ryan scored 13 points, Addie Kiefer 11 for Lakeland.

“Their length in general is tough to handle, with Ryan and Kiefer and (Kenna) Simon,” Miller said of Lakeland. “They beat us up on the boards pretty good. Our first two games we played well defensively, but I don’t think we ever really tightened up the whole game tonight.”

Next Tuesday, Lakeland plays host to Kellogg, and Timberlake travels to Lakeside.

ST. MARIES — A little rest did wonders for the Lumberjacks.

St. Maries, which was moved out of the red category by its school district on Monday, outscored Priest River 36-17 in the first half on the way to a nonleague win.

“The girls really got after it tonight,” St. Maries coach Gary Krumheuer said. “We haven’t been on the floor since last Wednesday. We had a little chalk talk before the game, and the press magically worked tonight.”

Sami Badgett scored 16 points, Sierra Christensen had six points, six rebounds and five assists and Krista Miller had eight rebounds for St. Maries (1-2), which plays at Wallace on Tuesday.

Hannah Palfrey scored nine points for Priest River (0-4), which hosts Wallace on Dec. 2.
