Lady Warriors capture huge early season victory over ZT

After the athleticism of Zane Trace pushed the Lady Pioneers out to a 13-7 lead after one quarter of play in Thursday night’s SVC battle, Adena locked down defensively allowing just 22 points the rest of the way to record a 42-35 win. Adena’s defensive effort did a great job of containing ZT in the scrimmage area, and ZT’s inability to score made it difficult for the Pioneers to continue the pressure that helped them build the early lead. That early pressure hurried the Adena guards at times forcing a frantic pace, but as the game grew longer, ZT was unable to defend the dribble in the quarter court. Adena guards Brytan Givens and Autumn Smith did a great job off the high ball screen of keeping their dribble alive and making plays for themselves and their teammates. Freshman Jenny Grigsby led all scorers with 16 points. Givens scored nine points and Smith added eight. The Lady Warriors also had a great defensive effort from Olivia Arledge. The sophomore grabbed nine rebounds, blocked five shots, and changed several others. For ZT in the loss, Sierra Sigman was finally able to get it going late as she led ZT with 14 points. Sigman was the only ZT player in double figures as Erin Dailey and McKenzee Tatman both scored six points.
