Darlington 66, Pectonica 58
DARLINGTON - On Thursday, the Redbirds snapped a five-game losing streak with their biggest offensive output this season in a win over the Vikings in non-conference play.
Senior Ashley Martin scored 22 points and sophomore Amy Jorgenson added a season-high 20 points to lead Darlington.
Pecatonica's Kimee Chandler led all scorers with 25; 16 coming in the first half.
Darlington head coach Adam Rotar was pleased with his team's performance in holding Chandler to nine points in the second half.
"We made adjustments early on in the second quarter. At halftime, I told the team what Pecatonica was doing for Kimee. Granted, she was still getting points, but we did a better job of containing her," Rotar said. "It feels good to play well and win. Everybody crashed the boards and we got the 50-50 balls."
Darlington also got to the free throw line more than the Vikings and made 19 of 32 free throws.
