“A quick start is definitely something we’ve been emphasizing.  We are fairly young team we only have one senior so it’s really important that we’re able to make shots to start games.  I loved our defensive intensity to start the game and that translated into making shots and getting off to a good start,” Parma Coach Chuck Caldwell said following the win.

Elise Balcer led Parma in scoring with 10 points and Shannon Chamberlin finished with 8 points.
