Nothing seemed to be clicking for Rock Hill as the Redwomen lost to the unbeaten Portsmouth Notre Dame Lady Titans 54-22 on Saturday at the Fairland Tri-State Hoops Throwdown.

Notre Dame didn’t waste any time by taking a 25-10 first quarter lead.

Kamryn Bradford and Gracie Ashley each hit a 3-pointer and scored 7 points apiece, Ella Kirby hit a pair of 3-pointers and Annabelle Ball also hit a trey for the Lady Titans.

Hazley Matthews had 4 points, Lola Hankins hit a 3-pointer and Hope Easterling had 3 points for the Redwomen.

But the Redwomen couldn’t hit their shots the rest of the game as they scored in the low single digits.

The Lady Titans went up 33-13 at the half and then Annie Dettwiller scored 7 points and Kirby hit a trifecta to make it 47-17 lead.

Notre Dame (13-0) had three players double figures as Dettwiller scored 15, Kirby 4 and Ashley 11.

Easterling had 7 points and Matthews 6 for Rock Hill.
