The inexperienced Solanco JV girls basketball team lost three straight games after opening with a victory. McCaskey dealt the Mules a 38-20 setback last Wednesday. Jen Eberly led Solanco with six points. Paige Borcky added five points and played her best game of the year so far, coach Mike Glackin said. "Inexperience isn't something we can correct in one game," Glackin said. "We're young and we just have to keep coming to work every day, try to be better. The girls have great attitudes and are already showing improvement." Solanco fell 57-23 to Cedar Crest Monday, December 16. Cedar Crest outscored the Mules 24-4 in the first quarter. Nikki Boultinghouse led Solanco with 15 points. "We struggled to take care of the ball which led to easy baskets for them," Glackin said. "Jen Eberly is our best defender right now. She's doing a great job of understanding help position and reacting to the ball. Lots of room for improvement as a team. We just need to get stronger with the ball and be able to make decisions under pressure." The Mules split their first two games of the season the week before. Hempfield handed Solanco a 59-16 defeat December 13. Eberly had eight points and Taylor Stitz scored four. "We were down to seven players because of injuries and struggled with their ball pressure. Right now we have six freshmen and were just trying to make the adjustment to the speed of the game at this level." Solanco started the season with a 25-21 triumph over Garden Spot December 11. Boultinghouse had a team-high six points. "Megan Perry did a great job at point guard distributing the ball and running the offense," said Glackin. "It was good to get a win in the first game of the year with five freshmen starting." Comments are closed.
