POLAND WINS WITH SIGNATURE DEFENSE

POLAND OH- Poland has been headlined by their defense over the years, especially during their time atop the NE8.  They needed every ounce of their vaunted pressure on Thursday as Hubbard came in to their field house. The Eagles have a formidable defense in their own right. They gave the Bulldogs fits all night. After scoring 13 points in the first quarter, the Bulldogs never scored more than ten in a frame.  Unfortunately for Hubbard, the Dogs defense was even more suffocating on their way to a 36-22 win.

Sarah Forsyth was the only Bulldog in double figures as she led the way with 10. Brooke Rowe got the start tonight, and was one bucket away from double digits with 8 points total.  Leanne Williams scored all six of her points down the final 2:00 of the third quarter.

Sophie Murphy was the leader for the Eagles. She tied the game-high total with 10 points.  Livia Reese chipped in a solid 6 point performance for Hubbard as well.

Both teams are back in action on Monday as they end the first half of NE8 play.  Poland will hit the road and travel to Lakeview. Hubbard goes back home and will host Jefferson.
