Dayton falls

“We played pretty good on defense,” Dayton coach Kelly Frantz said. “I really think (Lovelock) is solid, well-balanced, well-coached team.
Abby Sikora led Dayton with 12 points.
“Abby is very consistent on defense and can get in position to score outside the perimeter for us on offense,” Frantz said. “She has really stepped up on her ball handling and has gained confidence on driving the lane.”
Tamia Powell and Hannah Coltrin each had 4 points and Powell had 5 rebounds and 7 steals while Coltrin grabbed 10 rebounds for the Dust Devils.
“I think we took a quarter too long to calm down and start taking care of the ball and once we started putting up points, we played much stronger,” Frantz said.
