Sadly, that's the second time they've come up short against the Bulldogs this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 40-24 last Thursday.

Perhaps the best among them was Raegan Cathcart, who posted nine points along with five assists and five boards. Cathcart is also on a roll when it comes to steals, as she's now grabbed two or more in the last three games she's played. Madison Scroggins was another key player, putting up eight points.

Woodbridge found their leader in sophomore Maia Melendez, who went 7 for 16 en route to 20 points. That makes it four consecutive games in which Melendez has scored at least a third of Woodbridge's points. The team also got some help courtesy of Eleona Wilkins, who scored ten points.
