It was the season opener for both teams in Onamia. With no fans in the stands in Onamia, the game had a different feel at least at the start.

The kids were able to make the extra pass to go from a good shot to a great shot." The Dragons went into halftime with a 48-19 lead and cruised to victory in the second half. All 8 varsity players were big contributors to the victory. Ellie Hasz had 28 points including six 3-pointers on eight attempts. She also contributed 4 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 assists and 2 blocks. Sophie Lahti had a very nice floor game with 16 points, 8 assists, 6 steals and 6 rebounds. Kloey Lind was also in double figures with 11 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and a steal. Meredith Kolling had 7 points, 3 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 assists. Karly Jusczak scored 7 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
