Scoring was tight the whole game and Varnum held a 16-14 lead at half time.

Lexington outscored Varnum 17-8 in the third quarter, chipping away at their lead. But, it wasn’t enough as the Lady ‘Dawgs lost by three.

Freshman Phyllis Webb led her team with 20 points while senior Addison Lippel joined her in double figures with 13. Ava Rowe added eight.

According to head coach Jacobi Couch, Varnum is a scrappy team that shoots well.

“The break will give us a chance to reset and work on things. We’ll have to get tightened up and prepare for the second half push of the season,” Couch said.
