Forks beats South Bend

BELFAIR — The Roughriders shook off a game Bulldogs squad with pressure defense to take firm control of Thursday’s Olympic League contest.

“Catie Brown, Jenna McGoff, Anna Petty, Bailee Larson and Angelina Sprague were particularly effective in our zone press that gave us the second quarter-burst to take control of the game.”

Eve Burke posted a double-double with 21 points, 12 rebounds and five steals.

Anna Petty added 10 points and four steals.
