“Our objective was to take away their three-point shooters and we held them without a three-point make,” said FGR Coach Tim Cain. “We turned the ball over a few times against their press but we were also able to score a lot of easy baskets when we were in the right place and moving the ball. Overall, it was a strong team performance.”

Senior Rileigh Garbarz led FGR with 16 points. Mary Kate McCauliffe had 12 points and Izzie Lashaway scored nine in the victory.
