The Shalom Lady Flames hit the road again on Monday afternoon, traveling to Cumberland, MD, to face the Allegheny Lady Campers. The Campers proved too much for the Flames, securing a 55-25 victory behind 22 points from Penn State-bound track athlete Avery Miller. This marks the Flames’ third consecutive loss following their impressive 12-game winning streak.
The Flames started slowly, trailing 8-2 at the end of the first quarter. Despite a strong second quarter from Addison Adams, with 6 points, they still found themselves down 19-8 at halftime. Coming out strong in the third, the Flames scored the first 6 points of the second half to pull within 5, but the Campers quickly regained control with a 7-point run to extend their lead back to 12. The Flames struggled to recover from that run and were unable to overcome a tough 19-6 foul differential.
Adams led the Flames with 14 points, while freshman Sydney Moore added 5 points and was strong again on the boards. The Campers’ defense stifled the Flames’ usually potent guard duo of Maya Lehman and Emily Rebok, holding them to a combined 6 points and making it difficult for the team to generate offense.
Next, the Flames will host the Mountain Ridge Lady Miners from Frostburg, MD, in their final regular-season home game at 5:00 p.m.
