Two more Bruin were just shy of the double-double in freshman guard/forward Mary Whitmore (Dowling/Delton Kellogg), who knocked down 12 while taking in 9 rebounds and 4 steals, and sophomore guard/forward Maddie Edwards (Climax/Climax-Scotts), who sank 10 with 9 rebounds, and 3 steals.

Coach Konkle was proud of the efforts on the floor, stating, "Coming into this week our goal was to improve from last week's scrimmage and we definitely accomplished that. Tonight, was a great way to start our season and for us to continue to work our offensive and defensive systems as a group. Our dual sport players are working their way in, and we're looking forward to continuing to grow."
