Williamstown started with a 7-1 lead and never looked back. Magnolia fought back with an 8-2 run of its own that knotted the game at nine. However, the ‘Jackets ended the first period on 10 straight points.

Ludewig kept the visitors to within striking distance at 21-16 in the first three minutes of the second period. However, the ‘Jackets turned it up a notch and outscored the Blue Eagles 14-2 over the next three minutes.

Following a pair of Ludewig charity tosses, Flowers nailed down a basket from beyond the arc to give the hosts a comfortable 38-21 lead at the break.

Magnolia kept the margin respectable halfway into the third period at 46-30, but a 12-3 Williamstown surge put the game out of reach.

Ludewig’s 16 markers paced the Eagles, with Riggs following with seven markers. Haught and Murdock each netted six points, while Jordan Babe knocked in a threeball. Bosley sank two attempts from the charity stripe to finish the Lady Eagle scoring.

The Lady Eagles stay at home Thursday, Feb. 5, when they will host the Parkersburg Crusaderettes for a 7 p.m. tipoff.
