The United South Central girls’ basketball team climbed to second place in the Gopher Conference standings with a 62-57 home win Monday against Blooming Prairie.

The Rebels (11-3 overall, 5-2 Gopher Conference) are on a seven-game winning streak and haven’t lost in 2014. The last blemish on their schedule was a one-point loss at the St. Clair tournament against Jackson County Central.

Against Blooming Prairie (10-3 overall, 5-2 Gopher Conference) — the team that held the No. 2 spot in the standings last week — USC had five players with more than seven points.

The Rebels won the rebounding battle 36-28, USC head coach Stu Hendrickson said.

USC also excelled behind the arc. In the first half, Bauman drained four 3-pointers.
