The Lady Hurricanes faced Richmond Heights last Wednesday and came out with a 55-14 victory. The win improved the team’s record to 8-9.
To start off the game, freshman Shariah Gailes scored within the first few seconds and then freshman Jenna Young followed it up with a basket of her own.
The offensive onslaught continued and gave the Canes a 24-3 first quarter lead.
While the offense cooled off, the fast and opportunistic defense did not. After holding the Lady Spartans to only three points in the first quarter, the visitors only managed to score three points in the second quarter as well.
Brooklyn went into halftime leading 31-6.
In the beginning of the third quarter, sophomore Savannah David scored three points. Gailes and freshman Genesis Caraballo consistency scored, too.
Additionally, the defense yet again only gave up three points to push the margin to 43-9 at the conclusion of the third quarter.
During the fourth quarter, David, senior Haley Connors, and sophomore Jaida Dominguez contributed to the scoring.
The 55-14 final score was a complete team effort, both offensively and defensively.
The Lady Canes look to keep up the momentum and their winning streak of three games alive as they host the Lutheran West Longhorns on Saturday, February 1.
