The Lady Greyhounds were led by Sophomore guard Ayanna Rutledge who scored 19 points and was 4/8 from 3, and also brought down 9 rebounds. London Robinson and Jakiyah Bell who both chipped in with 10 points.
Head coach Tysia Manuel had to say this after the game, ""I feel like we've seen a lot of growth over the last couple weeks as a team. We had an off night shooting, but I know the shooting will come with the time put in the gym. Also, I've seen a lot of positive influences from our girls constantly picking each other up. Film is going to show a lot of easy fixes that will make big differences moving forward."
Next up for the Lady Greyhounds is Northeast Mississippi, as they travel to Booneville on November 7th. Tip-off is set for 5:30.
