It was also Senior Night for the Bulldog girls. Using a suffocating full-court press, the Bulldogs raced out to a 17-0 lead that held up until the visitors got their first two baskets in the final minute of the opening quarter.
The Bulldogs closed with a 19-0 run to win, 58-30.
Nearly every Bulldog senior had positive contributions to the stat sheet in the first eight minutes.
Nickerson, who went over the 1200 point career scoring mark with her 22 on the night, had seven points in the run.
Rachel Hinebaugh got her game going in the fourth, with six of her eight points. She talked about playing on Senior Night.
Avery Roane closed out the scoring with two baskets. Roane had one of her best games off the bench, with eight points and seven rebounds.
The Bulldogs close out their regular season with four straight road games. The two biggest will be CIML Metro contests in Des Moines, at Hoover and at East — who only has one loss in the Metro. Ottumwa travels to Marshalltown for a non-conference game on Tuesday.
