Four different players finished in double digits and the Leo Lions picked up a win in the StarDome Tuesday night, beating South Adams, 62-46. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strong performances by Laney Trausch and Ana Lehman were not enough for the Stars to take down a Leo team that moved to 6-1 with a victory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We battled pretty hard for all four quarters tonight against a nice Leo team,” said head coach Brett Freeman. “Offensively we were aggressive and forced them into some foul trouble in the first half.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freeman noted that he felt his team played well enough in the first half to have a lead at the break, but instead his girls found themselves trailing 27-18. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both teams turned up the offense in the third quarter and Leo lengthened their lead by outscoring the home team 20-17. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We struggled out of the gates with some silly turnovers in the third,” noted Freeman. “They were able to push the lead out.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The girls are really starting to come around and play like we’re capable of,” said Freeman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
