The Medical Lake girls' basketball team edged ever closer to a Northeast A League regular season title with a three-game sweep of league foes last week.

With wins at Riverside, 49-41 on Jan. 17, Chewelah, 46-37, Jan. 20 at home, and a road victory breeze last Saturday 52-26 where they doubled up on Colville, the Cardinals won their 12th consecutive game.

Medical Lake is a perfect 10-0 in the NEA (14-2 overall) and still maintains a two-game lead with four games remaining in the regular season. This week they were at Newport (3-7 NEA, 4-12) on Jan. 24 and host Freeman (4-8, 5-11) at 5:45 p.m.
