UNIONTOWN — Crest head coach Ben Vaughn didn’t have a whole lot to say Monday evening, following the Lady Lancers’ 62-29 loss to the Uniontown Eagles. Crest 6-5-9-9—29
“I don’t know what’s going on,” Vaughn said. “We weren’t that much worse than them.”
Whatever glimpse of hope came for the Lancers came early and left quickly. Crest held on to stay close in the first, facing a 6-10 deficit going into the second quarter.
Then the second quarter happened. The first seven minutes featured a 23-2 run by the Eagles, with stifling defense that had the Lady Lancers struggling to even get a shot off. Karlee Hammond ended the suffering with a jumper with one minute remaining in the half.
The Lancers went into the locker room facing a 35-11 disadvantage.
The Eagles put another 19 points on the Lancers in the third, while the Lancers’ only field goals came from Miranda Golden, Hammond and Clarissa McCulley to give them nine for the quarter. They duplicated the effort in the fourth to outscore the Eagles’ bench, 9-8.
“We just couldn’t find ourselves tonight,” Vaughn said.
Golden led the Lancers with nine points, followed by Laurel Godderz with eight and Hammond with six. Emily Shinn had 15 points for the Eagles, and Shalina Harper had 11.ght.
