Kinesiology freshman and Rangers point guard Destiny Solis contributed 8 points. “The first half we dominated, everybody talked and we’re on one level as a team,” Solis Said.
Kinesiology sophomore Kennedy McGovern led the team with 15 points and also had excruciating block on a Jaguar player in the third quarter when defense started to step up against the Jaguars.
The Jaguars Megan Trinquier had 28 points with three of her were shots 3-pointers for the Jaguars.
“I know we lost, but I’m proud of them because I saw improvement in their game tonight,” Haley Capestany women’s head basketball coach, said. “If one player was getting down, the other will pick them back up,” she said. “There was a lot of positive coming out of this game.”
