Making full-scale substitutions after that first quarter, the Eagles placed nine girls in the scoring column with four of them scoring at least eight points paced by center Gabby Ozoude with 24.

With the win, the Eagles moved their record to 21-0 for the year with the final regular season game on Saturday at Brookville, reserve game starting at noon.
