She led all scorers with 15 points. Gracie McCreery scored 6 points and assisted in several others thanks to her defense and court vision. Mila Morris and Claire Cheesman added 4 points each and Lucy Huston had 2. The entire team displayed good ball movement, tough defense and great passing which resulted in a fun evening of basketball and the Lady Bears gaining their 10th victory of the season.
