For the second week in a row freshman Diamond Pickett led the Lakers in scoring with thirteen points, as well as an astonishing 16 rebounds. Pickett played well on both sides of the ball. Freshman Elania Johnson was right behind in scoring with twelve points. Two young ladies with extremely bright futures here in Oswego. Chastin Giles and Danielle Caivana also had impressive performances in this game. The Lakers were off to a lightning fast start, scoring twenty-five points in the first quarter compared to the Broncos ten. From there the defense went off holding the Broncos to just fourteen points in the second and third quarter. Outscoring the Broncos in all four quarters, this game was never close. Now it’s back to the office as the Lakers get ready for their next game.
