If McQueen wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Reed, they should've done a better job of containing Faanaetaua Puloka. The Reed Raiders put the hurt on the McQueen Lancers with a sharp 58-38 win on Monday thanks in part to Puloka, who posted 22 points and five boards. Her evening made it three games in a row in which she has scored at least ten points.

The team also got some help courtesy of Anastasia Lombardi, who had nine points and three steals. She is on a roll when it comes to steals, as she's now grabbed three or more in the last ten games she's played.

When it comes to explaining why McQueen lost, don't look at Brooklyn Pimpl. Despite the final result, she earned nine points and seven rebounds.

Reed's victory bumped their record up to 18-3. As for McQueen, they dropped their record down to 3-19 with the loss, which was their eighth straight on the road dating back to last season.
