Reading is headed into the contest after thoroughly thrashing Union City: they outscored them in every quarter. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that Reading blew Union City out of the water with a 60-24 final score. The game was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 33-9.

Reading can attribute much of their success to Aubree Ervans, who posted 16 points along with seven assists and six boards, and Jenna Londeau, who went 6 of 12 en route to 16 points along with five rebounds and five steals. Those five steals gave Londeau a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Leah Headley, who had nine points.

They weren't the only one working in the assists department: Reading was working as a unit and finished the game with 14 assists. That's the most assists they've managed all season.

While Camden-Frontier didn't have the best season last year (they finished 6-14), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past. They secured a 36-31 W over Tekonsha on Friday.

Camden-Frontier's victory was their seventh straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-3. Those victories came thanks to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 21.6 points per game. As for Reading, they now have a winning record of 5-4.

Everything came up roses for Reading against Camden-Frontier in their previous meeting back in December of 2023, as the squad secured a 54-15 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Reading since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
