The Manitowoc Lutheran girls’ basketball team will be in Oostburg today to participate in the Oostburg Holiday Tournament.
The Lancers improved to 7-1 Tuesday night with a 58-44 victory in Wrightstown over the Tigers and will take on Hamilton out of Milwaukee.
The Chargers, from the Greater Metro Conference, are 4 and 5 this season and have been competitive against quality competition.
Their last time out, they fell to West De Pere 43 to 41 on December 20th, with their largest margin of victory coming on December 12th over West Allis Hale 73-29.
They have also taken care of the ball, averaging just ten turnovers per game, but the Lancers’ suffocating 1-3-1 zone defense is designed to speed up play and forces 21 turnovers per game.
The Lancers also have a decided edge on the glass, grabbing 13 more rebounds per contest than the Chargers.
Game time is scheduled for 5:00 p.m.
