The Sheldon Irish led wire-to-wire in a Southwest Conference girls basketball game against the Roseburg Indians Tuesday at Robertson Memorial Gymnasium.

Sheldon (13-8; 6-1 SWC) stretched a meager first quarter lead to double figures in the second half and ran away with a 58-30 win.

Beaux Bruegman led Sheldon with 20 points. Amy Carpenter and Hannah Bowman led Roseburg with nine points each.

Roseburg (1-16; 0-7) kept things close in the first quarter with some tough defense, but struggled to put shots down and trailed Sheldon 11-5 going to the second period.

“(Sheldon) did not like what we were doing to them defensively in that zone. We were getting after them,” said Roseburg coach Chad Smith.

Sheldon stretched the lead by out-scoring Roseburg 13-2 in the second quarter and the Irish led 24-7 at the break.

The Indians put up a fight in the third quarter, but the Irish closed the door on any chance of a comeback by edging Roseburg 19-11 in the final eight minutes.

“It was the first 32 minute game we’ve played all year,” said Smith. “We competed. We did everything we could, we just got to be better shooters.”

Roseburg will next square off with the South Eugene Axe on Saturday in Eugene.
