Held at Avon High School, the home team capitalized on strategic plays to clinch their fourth win of the season, maintaining an unbeaten record of 4-0.
The Eagles, led by standout player Alaina Pagan who scored 15 points, took control early in the game and held a halftime lead of 18-12. A significant moment occurred just before the first half concluded, when junior #25 Abigail Owens nailed a three-pointer from a perfectly executed inbounds play, extending their lead and setting the tone for the rest of the contest.
