Emily Einhaus and Janelle Hardesty each scored 12 points followed closely by Abby Lauber's 10. Erika Simon added nine points and Abby Rohlfing added five to go with her team high seven rebounds.
“We got great defensive efforts from the kids tonight,” Smith commented. “Especially Alisha Lord and Kiersten Young, and got great performances from our bench (17 points).”
Over the last two games, Janelle Hardesty has moved into sole position of second place on the Eagle All-Time scoring list behind Rita Foster with 1,084 points.
Jac-Cen-Del’s record now stands at 13-2.
