Beloit Turner 52, Argyle 41
ARGYLE - A sluggish third quarter and 26 turnovers contributed to Argyle's loss Tuesday.
"What killed us was the third quarter," Argyle head coach Ismael Hinojosa said. "We were breaking their diamond press, but the girls got scared and started forcing passes. We had another great game from Katie Dammen, who is starting for Courtney Gilbertson who is out with a torn meniscus."
Dammen had eight points for the Orioles (1-4, 0-2 Six Rivers East). Senior Jackie Dammen was the high scorer for Argyle with 10 points.
Argyle will travel to Hazel Green Tuesday to play Southwestern.
