Albany 50, Monticello 26
ALBANY - The Albany Comets' tallest player stands 5-feet, 9-inches, but their defense stood tall while their offense knocked down several outside shots in a win over the Monticello Ponies in a Six Rivers East Conference battle.
"We played zone and they couldn't hit any shots from the outside," said Albany head coach Mike Brunhoefer.
The Comets got a balanced attack on offense, with junior Courtney Pfeuti scoring 13 points, junior Hayli Peach 12, and junior Sydney Bump 11.
The Comets' defense made it difficult for the Ponies to score, allowing just 13 points in the first half and 13 in the second half while preventing the Ponies from getting anyone to score in double figures.
Junior Taylor Pfeuti led the team with nine points and senior Mersadi Hilliard added eight for Monticello (1-3 Six Rivers East, 2-6 overall).
"The second quarter started to get physical. Our girls weren't happy, but we told them to play tough," Brunhoefer said.
Albany improves to 3-1 in the Six Rivers East (8-4 overall) and travels to Juda Tuesday. The Monticello Ponies next game is at home Tuesday against Pecatonica.

New Glarus will be home Tuesday when they face Wisconsin Heights.
