BURLINGTON — The Port Angeles girls fell behind early and were never able to get back in the game on the road against a physical Burlington-Edison team.
The 3-1 Tigers got up on the Roughriders 17-7 in the first quarter and 31-12 at halftime en route to a 64-33 win.
“Burlington-Edison played a very physical game. Although 22 fouls were called on the Tigers, no one fouled out, and the pressure and contact took a toll on our players, resulting in some easy baskets off turnovers,” said Riders coach Michael Poindexter.
Mikkiah Brady hit three 3-pointers for nine points. Cheyenne Wheeler also scored nine points, mostly inside.
“Nizhoni Wheeler had a strong rebounding and defensive game. Natalie Steinman and Kyrsten McGuffey did a good job of holding the Tigers’ Brandy Smith to four points in the last 20 minutes of the game, after she had scored nine on us early in the game,” Poindexter said.
