The Owen Warhorses's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Wednesday after their fifth straight loss. The match between them and Madison wasn't particularly close, with Owen falling 70-54. Owen was given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Patriots apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in February of 2023.
When it comes to explaining why Owen lost, one person who can't be blamed is Ellie Martin. Despite the final result, she dropped a double-double on 29 points and ten steals. Martin has been hot recently, having posted five or more steals the last three times she's played. Another player making a difference was Hayden Koone, who scored nine points.
Owen has been struggling recently as they've lost nine of their last ten contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 3-17 record this season. As for Madison, their win ended a four-game drought on the road and puts them at 9-10.
Coincidentally, the two teams will both be playing Rosman the next time they take the court. Madison will host Rosman at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, while Owen will head out to face them at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.
