New London-Spicer limited Litchfield to just two second-half baskets as it ended the Dragons’ season March 3 in the Section 3AA-North semifinal game at Willmar High School.
It was the third meeting between Litchfield and New London-Spicer, with each team winning once during the regular season.
Litchfield, which finished 19-9 on the season, gave New London-Spicer all it had in the first half.
Junior guard Ryanna Steinhaus, who hit three 3-pointers in the first half, connected on one with just less than five minutes to go in the first half to tie the game at 16-16.
But New London-Spicer took control from there, scoring the next seven points to go into halftime with a 23-16 lead.
The Wildcats opened the second half on a 17-5 run that pretty much put the game out of reach for Litchfield with less than 10 minutes to play.
Steinhaus finished with a team-high 13 points for Litchfield, while Greta Hansen had seven and Izzy Pennertz six.
Avery Rich led New London-Spicer with 25 points.
