The Eureka Lady Tornadoes traveled to Erie on Monday, Feb. 24 to compete in a make-up game against the Red Devils. Although the Tornadoes struggled to find the bottom of the net early, there was no hope for the Red Devils after they got going. Eureka left with not only the 70-26 victory, but as co-Tri-Valley League (TVL) champions, the eighth straight title for Eureka.
Erie opened up the game with a mid-range jumper, and Kimber Ptacek responded with a free throw. The Red Devils managed to sneak in an 8-0 run, but Elle Coulter was quick to shut it down with a corner three in transition. From that point on, Eureka didn’t look back. Nearly every Tornado contributed to the scoring column in the first half, allowing them to extend their lead to 38-17 before the halftime buzzer sounded.
