The Lady Lions jumped out to a 39-14 halftime lead and never let the lead drop below 15 points in the second half to secure the win.  "I felt that the girls really stepped it up defensively tonight and we controlled the tempo of the game by controlling the boards."  "The girls worked together and played as a team tonight." stated DuBois coach Pat Lewis.
