Mustangs notch first wins of the season

B Game: Memorial used a balanced scoring attack to grab their first win of the season, defeating Whittier 27-12. The Mustangs got off to a strong start, and held a lead of 11 points after the first quarter. The lead stretched to 15 in the second quarter, and that cushion was maintained for the remainder of the game.
Coach Hoegh says: "Our girls played really hard tonight. We were aggressive at both ends of the court. It is pretty cool to see 9 girls score in the same game. All of our players were all a huge part of our success today."

A Game: The Mustangs defeated Whittier 22 - 15 in the second game of the night. It didn't seem as if the game would turn out as favorably for the home team as it did until a strong 2nd quarter. After trailing 0-6, Memorial used an up-tempo pace to tie the game at ten before halftime. The Mustangs then took control of the game defensively in the third quarter. Whittier made a charge early in the 4th, only to have Memorial pull away at the end.
Coach Hoegh says: "That was a fun game. I thought Amy C's defense was vital, and Madisyn W stepped up huge in the middle of the game to help us take back control of the game. We all improved a lot from the first game, and this group will continue to do that as long as we keep working hard with each other during practice.
