PORT ANGELES — The Port Angeles girls basketball team rebounded from their first Olympic League 2A loss by shutting down the Bulldogs 47-16
“We had very good ball movement and good shot selection all game long,” Port Angeles coach Michael Poindexter said of Tuesday’s game.
“Ten different players scored for us. Nizhoni Wheeler did a great job in the middle of our zone offense, distributing the ball to players on the perimeter for open shots.”
Wheeler led Port Angeles with five assists and scored four points.
The Riders outscored North Mason 26-5 in the second and third quarters, and held the Bulldogs scoreless in the third period.
“I thought both our zone and man-man defenses were active and effective,” Poindexter said
“North Mason moved the ball well against our zone defense but just could not get shots to go down.”
Lauren Lunt led the Riders with eight points.
Hayley Baxley and Kyrsten McGuffey added seven points apiece for Port Angeles. McGuffey also had five rebounds.
Emily Johnson led the Riders with eight rebounds. She added six points and three steals.
Port Angeles outrebounded North Mason 35 to 24 and allowed the Bulldogs to collect just four offensive rebounds.
The Riders also forced 25 North Mason turnovers while committing 17.
“With Olympic’s loss to North Kitsap tonight, we’re back in sole possession of first place,” Poindexter said.
Port Angeles (7-1, 13-2) hosts No. 7 Black Hills (13-2) in a nonleague game at home Friday.
