RESERVE LOOKS GOOD TO START

BERLIN CENTER OH- After it was all said and done Monday night in Western Reserve, head coach Steve Miler would admit that it wasn’t the best basketball his team has ever played. But in their first game of the season, the Blue Devils had to deal with all kinds of adversity that they’ll surely meet again during the long basketball season. Whether it was stretches of rough shooting, foul trouble, or Mathews press, Reserve fought through it all to come away with a comfortable 52-36 win.

Lisa Eichert showed how much she’s looking forward to a healthy season as she dashed her way to 17 points to lead the Devils. Alyvia Hughes did a good job chipping in 13.  Brooke Schantz fought some early foul trouble but became a big factor in the second half finishing with 9.  Angelina Cappabianca nailed a pair of triples on her way to 9 points as well.

Mathews was led by Brooke Bauer who tied Eichert for the game-high with 17.  The Mustangs couldn’t get much more contribution offensively, which ended up hurting them.

Western Reserve will continue their season on December 1st against Hubbard.  Mathews schedule sees them take on Pymatuning Valley next up still looking for their first win.
