By Rongi Yost

The Lady Outlaws notched
a sweet 41-32 victory at
home over Woodburn on
Wednesday, February 6. The
contest was played a day later
than scheduled due to weather
conditions.
At the start of the contest,
Sisters came out aggressive
and ready to play, and with
approximately three minutes
left in the first quarter held
an 8-6 lead. The last couple
of minutes the Outlaws had
good looks at the basket, but
couldn9t get their shots to fall,
and at the close of the period
trailed 9-10.
Sydney Head made both
her shots at the charity stripe
to start the second quarter
scoring, and the Outlaws
regained the lead 11-10.
Meaghan Greaney gave the
Outlaws the big boost they
needed, and scored seven of
the Outlaws9 10 points in the
quarter. At the half, Sisters
was on top 19-16.
The Outlaws had an early
7-0 run in the third quar-
ter, and midway through the
period extended their lead to
26-20. Isabelle Spitler9s two
three-point shots highlighted
the quarter, and the period
ended with a nice dish from
Hallie Schwartz to Greaney,
who made the short shot for
the score.
Head9s three-point shot
highlighted the final quarter.
The Outlaws held the lead the
entire second half and beat
the Bulldogs by nine.
Greaney had an outstand-
ing performance 4 the best
game of her career. Meaghan
posted Sisters9 first double-
double of the season with
15 points and 11 rebounds.
Spitler had a great all-around
game and recorded 10 points,
including three threes.
