Jeffers had five steals on the night that were huge for the Pomeroys in sealing the victory.
Douglas was forced to leave the game in the third quarter with a possible knee injury, but the Pomeroys bench did a great job of stepping up and filling for her. "That's why we carry 15 and we have other girls at her position to step up," said Head Coach Terry Bowe.
The team's core players also did a great job of stepping up after Douglas's injury. "Our core with Avalee (Jeffers), Abby (Worley), and Allyson (Hardiek) helped lead the way," said Bowe. "Some of the younger classman came and played extremely well. Syd (Ingram) came in as a senior and played well. We have multiple girls that can get it done the way we need to get it done."
The Pomeroys improve to 4-0 on the season and will travel again on Saturday to Richmond, Ind to begin River States Conference play at IU East with tipoff scheduled for 1:00 pm.
