GLOUSTER — The St. Joseph Female Flyers battled two opponents on Tuesday and lost to both.
With more than half the team not feeling well, the Female Flyers were outscored in the second half as they lost 37-33 to the Trimble Lady Tomcats.
“We came out playing well, but we had probably five girls who were under the weather and it wore on us. We got a little tired,” said Female Flyers’ coach Nick Miller.
Morgan Turner had 11 points and 3 assists for the Female Flyers (4-6). Megan Riley added 9 points while Kaitlynn Sheridan had 6 steals, Ashley Bartram 6 rebounds and Ashlee Blankenship 5 rebounds.
Sydney Hardy scored 11 points and Emily Ward 10 for Trimble (3-6).
Bartram scored the first 6 points of the game and Turner got 5 more points as St. Joseph took a 15-10 first quarter lead.
Skylar Moore hit a pair of 3-pointer for the Lady Tomcats in the first quarter.
Trimble cut the deficit to 20-19 at the half and took a 27-23 lead after the third quarter.
Ward got 4 points in the fourth as Trimble outscored St. Joseph 11-10. Riley and Turner combined for 9 points in the quarter.
