Photos: Dakota Ridge girls basketball tops Boulder in 5A’s first round

LITTLETON — No. 5 Dakota Ridge girls basketball beat No. 12 Boulder 68-35 in the first round of the Class 5A state tournament on Tuesday.

“A very unselfish game tonight,” Dakota Ridge coach Diane Thompson said after the game. “We have a pretty strong core of seniors.”

“We allowed mistakes and turnovers to take us out of our game,” Boulder coach Sara Klippert said. “We didn’t adjust to Dakota Ridge’s pressure and defense.”

Dakota Ridge advances to face No. 4 seed George Washington in the second round on Friday.
