"Finally."

The word echoed out of Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family's locker room seconds after the team entered it following a 56-41 win over Nebraska Christian in the first round of the Class D-1 girls basketball state tournament on Tuesday.

The first-round monkey was officially off the Bulldogs' back.

After winning the co-op's state tournament debut in 2014, HLHF dropped five straight games in Lincoln, including first-round contests in three of the previous four seasons.

That streak is in the rearview mirror after the Bulldogs used a 19-4 advantage in the second quarter to spoil Nebraska Christian's state debut.

"This is an incredible feeling," said senior center Addison Schneider, who had 18 points and 11 rebounds. "It means a lot to our team for all the hard work and dedication we put in not just this season but these last four seasons for the seniors. If I could feel this feeling all day, I would."

HLHF coach Kandee Hanzel said it was a relief and joy to eliminate any more talk about that state tournament losing streak.

"Finally, the curse is gone," she said. "I'm proud of them. They did a great job. Getting past that first round is something they've wanted to do this entire season."

Addison Schneider paced the Bulldogs with 18 points, with Halle Beller and Lexi Frauendorfer adding nine apiece. Sidney McHargue led Nebraska Christian with 10 points.

Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family faces Fremont Bergan in the semifinals at 10:45 a.m. on Thursday at the Devaney Center.

Hartington Cedar Catholic 47, Elmwood-Murdock 46

A tough, predominantly Class C schedule prepared Hartington Cedar Catholic for a run to the Class D1 girls basketball state tournament despite a sub-.500 record.

It also prepped the Trojans for an extended stay.

Eighth-seeded Hartington Cedar Catholic rallied from a 12-point deficit in the third quarter to stun top-seeded Elmwood-Murdock 47-46 on Tuesday at Lincoln Southeast.

"We've been in these situations before and we just knew we could push back," said junior guard Makenna Noecker, who had a game high 23 points. "We just did it."

Hartington CC coach Craig Wortmann said things weren't looking good before the rally began.

"We tried to keep them positive," he said. "I think they were getting down a little bit then we had some success with the press that we had. Then it kind of shifted and a couple shots went in. Then a couple more shots went in and a couple free throws. It shifted that momentum."

Shelton 52,Niobrara/Verdigre 47

In a Class D1 meeting of first-time qualifiers that saw repeated changes in momentum, it was the Bulldogs who closed out the game with an 8-2 run to clinch that inaugural victory 52-47 on Tuesday at Lincoln Southwest.

Shelton coach Jeff Thober said surviving a rough start, not finishing strongly, might have been the key to pulling out the win.

The Bulldogs trailed 20-10 after the first quarter, had the Cougars in the bonus with 3:03 left in the period and committed six turnovers before Niobrara/Verdigre had its first.

"We were down 10 and it could have gone a lot of different ways," Thober said. "We just kept plugging away and I don't think either team was really pretty on offense. We just kept plugging away and getting stops and finding a way to climb back in it."
