IKM-Manning's Tember Schechinger filled the stat sheet in leading her team to the Class 2A semifinals.

Schechinger just missed a triple-double, scoring 23 points, grabbing 15 rebounds and handing out nine assists as the third-ranked Wolverines beat No. 14 Bellevue 71-55. IKM-Manning trailed 31-29 at halftime, but the Wolverines began the second half with an 11-2 run, then turned things over to Schechinger and let her take charge the rest of the way.

A Northwest Missouri State recruit, Schechinger scored 14 of her team's 18 points as IKM-Manning built an insurmountable lead. She also finished with five steals and two blocks and committed just one turnover.

Kaylee Blake added 12 points and freshman Morgan Muhlbauer scored 10 for IKM-Manning, which will take a 24-2 record against No. 15 Pella Christian in a semifinal game at 1:45 p.m. Thursday.

Schechinger was simply too much for Bellevue in the second half and the Comets lost for the first time in 26 games. Kelsey Ernst led Bellevue with 19 points and 10 rebounds and Ali Reeg scored 14 points to go with seven assists. Carly Rubel led Bellevue with 12 rebounds and scored four points.

IKM-Manning had a lot of success with the 5-foot-10 Schechinger posting up on the block. All six field goals she scored during her key second-half stretch came on layups, turnaround shots or putbacks.

Her follow-up basket gave the Wolverines a 61-47 lead with 5:33 left, but she went to the bench 10 seconds later after picking up her fourth foul. She was out for a little more than a minute, during which time Bellevue cut the lead to 61-53.

When Schechinger returned, she immediately pulled down a rebound, then came up with a steal. Moments later, she sank two free throws to restore the lead to 10 points and start a 7-0 run that put it out of reach.
