record 1 - 2

Mallory McCormack 9 pts
Jackie Stroud 7 pts

The Rebels had a rough night scoring on the offensive end. We had plenty of opportunities but it was just one of those nights where the ball refused to go through the net. The first quarter saw the Rebels get down 11-5 and by halftime it was 25-12. Defensively the Rebels played pretty well creating some turnovers and forcing the opposition into some tough shots. The third quarter started out very well with the Rebels closing the gap to 25-17, but they could not get any closer. In the end being outscored in the second half 29-9, the Rebels competed hard but had to fight to many obstacles to get a win.
