0

SIDNEY — The Sidney Lady Jackets used a big second quarter to take control of the game, and went on to beat Vandalia in Greater Western Ohio Conference North girls basketball action Saturday night at the high school.

The win sets up a “battle of unbeatens” Monday night at Tecumseh High School. The Lady Jackets take an 8-0 record into the game against the 8-0 Lady Arrows.

Sidney is now 1-0 in the GWOC North.

Sidney trailed after a quarter at 15-13, but outscored the Lady Aviators 20-10 in the second quarter for a 33-25 lead at the half. Then in the third quarter, Sidney put up 23 points to open it up at 56-36 after three quarters.

“The third quarter was huge for us,” said Sidney coach Megan Mummey. “We were in sync and played well together. They could not stop our inside game and when they doubled, Kaitlyn stepped up and went 3-for-5 from behind the arc. Carrie Nuss did a great job on Butler’s Petrofsky, holding her to only two field goals in the second half.”
