Story | Boxscore

Riley McDonald and Crystal Kedroske had 10 points each to lead Dexter (5-0, 0-1 SEC White) to a win.

"I thought our guards, especially Mackenzie, did a great job on their perimeter players and forced them to take tough shots," Dexter coach Mike Bavineau said.

"We kept them out of the lane. When we did force the tough shots, we were able to get clean rebounds. Our team is trying really hard to get the next-best shot."

Ypsilanti Lincoln's (5-1, 0-1 SEC White) Dominique Foley had 12 points to lead Railsplitter offense.

Ariellw Cargor added 10 points.

The ability to control the tempo early was what helped Chelsea (2-3, 1-0 SEC White) dominate the contest.

"We were able to get some steals and easy opportunities," Chelsea coach Todd Blomquist said. "We were able to work the ball well and ended up shooting a really nice percentage from the floor (18 of 38)."

"Give Bedford the credit for their victory tonight," saline coach Jeff Waltz said. "They played harder and smarter than us and hit more shots at crucial times.

"I was pleased with Melanie's performance off the bench. She came in and gave us an offensive spark for the second game in a row, and that kept us in the game."

“Sarah’s not a big scorer normally; she’s more of a defensive threat,” Manchester coach Cori Kastel said. “So it was nice to see.”

Hanover-Horton’s Alyssa Fausneaucht had five points.

Manchester shot 28 of 58 from the floor, with 24 steals and 10 turnovers.

“Overall our team shot very well tonight,” Kastel said. “One of our big things is to be more consistent, and our last two games haven’t been as good. Defensively we played a good game as well.”
