WELLSTON - There was plenty of offense, but even more defense.

The Rock Hill Redwomen put together one of their best defensive efforts of the season as they routed the Wellston Lady Golden Rockets 58-24 Saturday.

"We went out and played hard from the start. We ran a real good pace for us," Redwomen coach Bob Wilds said.

Keshia Rupp got 16 points and eight rebounds to lead. Monica Bamer had 10 points and 12 rebounds. Marie Bamer added nine points, eight rebounds, and four steals. Mandy McKenzie added 10 points.

Marie Bamer scored six points in the first quarter and the defense held Wellston to just two points in taking a 13-2 lead.

McKenzie and Rupp had six points each in the second quarter as the Redwomen erupted for 20 points and lead 33-8 at the break.

Monica Bamer got all 10 of her points in the third quarter as Rock Hill opened up a 52-16 cushion.

Rock Hill plays at South Point Monday in an Ohio Valley Conference game.
