CANFIELD OH- It was a highly anticipated matchup on Friday as Canfield and Poland got together to bring in the new year with a bang. The first half was as electric as anyone could have hoped. Both teams were trading blows back and forth. Canfield was doing it from the perimeter hitting five three pointers in the first two quarters.  The Cardinals shot their way to a 27-23 lead at halftime.  The third quarter was when Canfield flexed their muscles as they outscored the Bulldogs 19-10 in the frame.  It would set the scene for a 54-39 win.

Carlie Harman shot the lights out for the Cardinals.  In her best performance of the season she finished with 24 points.  Kate Sahli put in a solid night finishing in double figures with 14.  Abby Muckleroy collected another double figure game finishing with 11.

Poland was led by a tough nosed effort from Mary Brant finishing with 11 points. Ariana Daniels was also in double figures with 10.  Eight different Bulldogs scored on the night.
