FOREST CITY, Iowa– Lindy Pins scored 22 points, while Kelci Larson had a team-high 14 rebounds as the Lake Mills Bulldogs girls’ basketball team defeated the Forest City Indians 46-44 in double-overtime Friday in Forest City.

“This win was a total team effort,” Lake Mills coach Beth Van Roekel said. “We had girls step up their game in many ways.”

The Bulldogs (6-4 overall, 4-2 North Iowa Conference) trailed most of the night, but fought back in the fourth quarter to send the game into overtime.
