Coach Eddie Mahan received stellar efforts from across the board with Chloe McKnight\u2019s 19 points and 13 rebounds leading the way. Brooke Nichelson played only 11 minutes but still managed to score 10 points while freshman Mariella Claybrook finished with seven points, 11 rebounds and four blocked shots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVery good team win today,\u201d Mahan said. \u201cBrooke Nichelson was very limited with a sprained ankle from last night, but she when in and gave the team all she had. We only played her about 11 minutes but her 10 points and six rebounds was enough to impact the game significantly. Chloe McKnight set the tone early with strong post moves and very good rebounding. To finish with 19 points and 13 rebounds in this game is a great accomplishment. She is learning to read the defense and how they are guarding more each game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMariella Claybrook had a very good game and is becoming a player that wants the ball more and more,\u201d he added. \u201cSeven points, 11 rebounds and four blocked shots from a freshman is great. Her defensive presence and ability to guard anywhere on the floor changes the game and she did that again today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
