The Atlantic girls’ basketball team got within six points of St. Albert for a long stretch of second quarter but couldn’t get the key basket needed to get closer. The Saintes came away with a 58-38 win and improved to 14-1 on the season.

It was a close game midway through the first quarter, until Atlantic started to struggle mightily against zone defenses which allowed 10-0 run to end the fourth. St. Albert continued to hit triples throughout the second to lead 29-20 at the break. The third and fourth quarter followed suit with Atlantic never finding their groove and the Saintes kept hitting enough threes to keep the Trojans out of harm’s way.

Even with a 20-point loss, Head Coach Dan Vargason noticed the higher amount of energy and intensity from his team.

Lily Krohn led St. Albert with 16 points, Avah Underwood had 11, and Missy Evezik added 10. The Saintes will travel to AHSTW on Saturday.

Atlantic got 22 points from Paytn Harter and 4 from Zoey Kirchhoff. With how close the game was in the first half, Coach Vargason noted the competitive nature his team carries within themselves.

The Trojans fall to 6-12 on the season and will travel to face Red Oak on Tuesday.
