Warriors get off to an amazing start
Taylor Curry dribbles it downcourt, stops, and looks for Hannah Laub who pulls up from deep and buries it. Warriors strike first up 3-0.
Then it’s Laub again with the rock, only this time she finds Curry wide open and she knocks down the trey to go up by six.
Reese Valha looks to create some offense for the Mustangs. She finds Jamie Nosek who spins and converts on the layup against two defenders. However, they trail 24-6 after one.
Khaliah Reid making plays against her former school
The Mustangs look to start a rally as Valha dishes it to Caitlin Clish and she tries a three. She misses, but Nosek gets the rebound and goes back up for two. They still trail by 20 with under five to go in the second quarter.
The Warriors respond with some nice passing. Lily Newton passes to Curry and she finds Danyella Mporokoso open. She buries the triple and they lead 34-11.
Under 10 seconds to go in the second quarter and Khaliah Reid weaves through the Mustangs’ defense to sink this floater against her former team. WV leads 44-17 at halftime.
Waubonsie continuing to extend its advantage
The Mustangs try to fight back. Raina Penttila looks for an open teammate, but can’t find anyone initially. She then finds Reese Valha open and she drills this three-pointer as her team looks to build some momentum.
Valha is in the corner and she eventually dishes it to Sreehi Duggirala open on the block. She scores off the glass as the Mustangs trail 44-25.
Khaliah Reid comes off the screen and dishes it to Laub who buries the three as time expires at the end of the third quarter. Warriors lead 58-35 going into the fourth.
Warriors cruise to the road win
Duggirala turns the ball over and Reid gets the steal. She then goes coast to coast and gets the nice bounce on this floater. Waubonsie Valley girls basketball leads by 28.
