Bridgeport started the season off well by
winning over Garden County 41-20. Bridgeport came out to a fast

eight seconds of the game, which put the Bulldogs in the lead.
Courtney Laux followed up with two shots off the glass.
The score at the end of the first quarter was 19-8. In the middle
of the second quarter Renae Jacobson put in a shot to put
Bridgeport to a 25-8 advantage. To start off the third quarter
Molly Steer made a bucket that gave the Bulldogs a 19 point lead.
With seven seconds left in the fourth Courtney Laux made the last
bucket to finish the win over Garden County.
Coach Schluterbusch said, “We played well early and made some easy
buckets inside and we also missed some shots. Our team defense
needs to improve and so does our rebounding.”
Leading scorer of the night was Courtney Laux which finished with
16 points. Right behind her in scoring was Charlee Wallesen with 11
points. Ashley Vergil had seven points, and Molly Steer had three
points. Both Renae Jacobson and Simmone Spurgeon had two
points.

Good luck ladies at Bayard.
