For the game, G-A hit on 11 of 24 on 3-point shots and used a smothering man-to-man defense to stymie Waynesboro (7-13).

The Maidens got all 7 of their points in the first quarter from Kiki Pryor and trailed only 11-7. But an 18-5 advantage in the second sent the Blue Devils on their way.

Henson had a career-high 23 points; while Libby piled up 18 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals2 charges taken.
Also, Haley Noblit had 5 points, 3 assists and 5 steals, and Kylie Kerns had 5 points and 5 boards.
