Greene County trailed 12-6 at the end of the first quarter, 21-15 at halftime and 34-19 at the end of the third quarter before taking the loss to Saydel. Laurin Lyons led the Rams with six points, six rebounds, an assist and five steals, while teammate Nicole Rohner followed with five points and four rebounds. Taylor Wessling and Hannah Promes scored three points each, Cassidy Adamson and Onica Delp chipped in two points each, Kenna Marquardt finished with five rebounds and Sunny Mobley recorded two rebounds and a steal. As a team, Greene County shot 6 for 40 from the field and 11 for 21 from the free throw line.

“I thought we played hard on both ends of the court and we took good shots offensively, but the ball just wouldn’t drop for us tonight,” head coach Dean Lyons said. “I also thought our defense was what really kept us in the game until they pulled away in the fourth quarter.”

The Rams will host Roland-Story on Friday.
