Halifax 50, Millersburg 29, Jan. 27. Halifax made the most of a brief road trip to Manning Gymnasium, which was decorated in festive pink style as part of the second of two ‘‘Pink Out’’ events for breast cancer awareness. Connecting on 5-for-11 from the field, Halifax scored the first nine points and took an 11-3 first period lead. The ’Cats’ tough man-to-man defense forced Millersburg to commit eight turnovers in the first period alone. The Indians also struggled with icy rims, connecting on just 1-of-9 attempts from the field. The Indians fought gallantly in the second quarter, with both Kayla Snyder and Chelsea Burger hitting treys, but shots still could not find their target and foul trouble plagued the team. The Indians did not score a bucket inside the three point arc in the entire first half. Only a 3-for-5 effort from beyond the arc kept this contest within reach for the Tribe. The ’Cats outscored the Indians 11-9 in the second half and were led by Tess Kieffer with six points, as Halifax led 22-12 at halftime. A 14-5 run by Halifax in the third quarter finally put the game away. A drive by Brittany Custer led the Halifax crusade. A shot by Mandy Snody, two drives by Megan Thornberg, a baseline jumper by Snody and a jump shot by Tatum Miller kept Halifax with a solid lead. The Indians also continued to be plagued with foul trouble, having several players foul out. The Lady Wildcats put nine girls into the scoring column, led by Brittany Custer’s 10 points. Snyder had a game high 13 points for the Indians. Line Mountain 66, Mifflinburg 29, Jan. 28.

The Lady Vikings responded by scoring the last six points of the quarter to close the gap to 29-25. The fourth quarter saw the Lady Trojans outscoring the Lady Vikings from the field (10-8), but the Lady Vikings made 12-for-14 free throws and the Trojans only made 4-for-6 and that spelled doom for UDA. With 4.3 seconds left, Viking freshman Maura Kreiser confidently went to the foul line and sank both free throws to give the Vikings the victory. Kreiser also had a team high nine rebounds. “We had plenty of opportunities to open a big lead in the second and third quarters. Something happened late in the third quarter and it lasted right through the fourth and it was yet another game at Williams Valley that left us scratching our heads.” UDA Head Coach Rich Hoffman said. The Lady Vikings hit 23-for-32 from the free throw line while Upper Dauphin connected on 13-for-28. Karissa Deitrich and Alyssa Brosius split 18 points for the Trojans.
