Senior co-captain Brigitte Pratt saved her best for the last game she will play in an Owl uniform, scoring a career-high 15 points to lead Presque Isle to a 55-34 road victory over Maine-Machias Thursday evening.

The Owls jumped out to a 16-10 lead behind the long-range bombs of Junior Katie Patenaude.  Patenaude connected on three consecutive outside shots early, but Machias would battle back hitting four 3-pointers of their own in the first half, including a deep 3-pointer from Alicen Brooks with only seconds left to close the Owl advantage to 31-24 at the half.

The Clippers came out strong in the second half scoring 5 of the periods first 7 points to cut the Owl lead to 33-29 with 17:14 on the clock.  The Owls second half defense has been outstanding of late, allowing only 11 second half points to Eastern Maine in their last game and Presque Isle would again use its multiple defensive schemes to throttle the Clippers offensive momentum in the game.  The Clippers went scoreless from the 17:14 mark until the 9:25 mark when Sierra Tjelmeland was fouled by senior Krista Coffin.  The Owls could only muster 6 points of their own during that span, but held the lead 39-30. 

After Meagan Cope banked home a 15-footer for the Clippers at 8:25, the Owl lead was 39-32, but Pratt would singlehandedly stop any intention the Clippers had of making a comeback.  Pratt scored 9 of her game-high 15 in a 16-0 Owl run in the next 6 minutes of action to give the Owls a solid road win for the second night in a row and allow Presque Isle to close their season on a three game winning streak.

Darby Toth capped a spectacular season with 12 points, 8 rebounds and added 6 assist to her season total that is leading the USCAA.  Patenaude scored a career-high 11 and Pratt added 6 rebounds.

Brooks was the only clipper to touch double figures with 12 and Tjelmeland grabbed 8 boards for the Clippers.

The victory gives the Owls 10 wins for the year.
