Peetz senior Melissa Schumacher had sliced through the Coyotes defense to give the home side a 37-34 advantage. On the other end of the floor Coyotes long rang specialist Taylor Juelfs found herself confronted by white jersey...

Four Coyotes-Bryant Knigge, Tyler Magninie, Jake Johnson and Trevor harms were into or on their way toward double-digit scoring. And just after the break, the were able...
