Lady Wolves 64, Lady Dolphins 38 

The Lady Wolves provided a strong offensive effort in the first half to lead 46-31 at halftime and outscored the Lady Dolphins 18-7 in the second half.

“We did not play like we are capable of,” said Co-Lin women’s coach Gwyn Young. “We played very poorly on defense in both the first and second half. In the second half, neither team shot the ball well, but we managed to make enough plays to secure the win. Overall, we still have a lot to improve on both offensively and defensively to get better before we start our division race.”
