G-A coach Scott McKeever said, “Coming off a big win Tuesday over Waynesboro, I wanted the girls to understand that this game meant just as much to our postseason aspirations as that one did. They responded well across the board.

“I was pleased with our energy and execution. We had 17 assists and only 11 turnovers. That’s the kind of execution we’re looking for down the stretch.”

Kiersten Swain knocked down four 3-pointers on her way to 16 points to lead G-A. The team hit 8-for-19 from long range. Liv Carey and Sophie Fries added 10 points each.
