The second half was a slow scoring battle for both teams. Assumption made up a little ground in the beginning of the second half when Stratford couldn’t find a way to on the scoreboard. The Tigers outscored the Royals by three in the second half, 16-13, to get the win.
Breanna Ackley led the Tigers in scoring for the night with 18 points. Jessie Grundhoffer led the Royals with 14.
Stratford hosts Spencer for a regional game on Feb. 25 and Assumption hosts Athens on Feb. 25.
