Lady Devils fall to Williamsburg
The Lady Blue Devils hosted Williamsburg on Tuesday evening in a non-conference game that has become a rivalry game for the two schools. The Lady Pirates came out on top in this meeting by a score of 61-35.
The Lady Blue Devils trailed 13-10 after the first quarter of action.
The second quarter was where Williamsburg got their big lead, outscoring Bellwood 24-1.
Bellwood was led in scoring by Chloe Hammond with 8 points and followed by Lily Gerwert and Marissa Cacciotti with 7 points each.
The Lady Blue Devils put together a competitive second half, playing even with the Lady Pirates all the way. However, the second quarter run by Williamsburg was too much for Bellwood to come back from.
