Antwerp’s Rachel Williamson state collecting points early in the first quarter with a 3 point basket. Heather Oberlin also made a nice name for herself as she posted 5 in the first. The Lady Warriors wrote about half the points of the guest team, and it was sophomore Taya Kitzmiller who got things rolling with 2 – 3 point baskets. The quarter ended 7-13 with Antwerp having the lead.

The second quarter was much better for the home team as they had one point more than Antwerp. Addison Bayman and Hanna Albertson both a had a great quarter. Antwerp’s Williamson and Oberlin both were back on the score board. The half ended with Antwerp still in the lead 20-25.

The third and fourth quarters both were similar. The Lady Warriors had 2 points over in the third and 2 points under in the fourth. If it wasn’t for the deficit from the first still hanging on, Woodlan could have taken the game. The final score was 34-39 and Antwerp won the game.
