The Lady Bisons used good solid defense in the middle quarters, limiting the Lady Raiders to just ten total points. Six in the second and only four in the third that helped seal the victory.
Lady Bison head coach Joey Castagnolo liked what he saw in his squad, “I really liked how we played the entire game. We had a great team effort as we passed the ball very well and were unselfish on offense.”
About the defense, Castagnolo said, “Our defensive intensity was really special, especially in the second and third quarters when we really stepped it up a notch or two. It was just an all around nice team effort.”
Clearfield hit six three pointers on the evening, three by senior Jayme Ryan and fellow classmate Angela Moore with two. Ryan finished with nine while another senior, Amber Byerly, hit for double figures with ten.
