"It was a well played game for our team tonight. Our girls really made a statement against a solid Towanda team," said head coach Darrell Morris. "We jumped out to an early 16-5 lead in the first quarter and continued to play good team defense and rebound well throughout the game. I am very excited about how balanced our team has been lately. Other teams can't just key on one player, because we have 10 girls who can all play."

With the win, the team pushes their season record to 12-2. The team will be back in action on Tuesday, March 27, as they host North Penn.
