If Lafayette was feeling good fresh off their 62-16 takedown of York last Tuesday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Lafayette Rams took a 50-44 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Grafton Clippers. The Rams were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Clippers apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in January of 2024.
Several Rams players turned in solid performances despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was Dynasti Pierce, who posted 18 points. Pierce is also on a roll when it comes to steals, as she's now grabbed two or more in the last four games she's played. Another player making a difference was Sarah Lynch, who scored eight points and three steals.
Grafton's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Taylor Ragland led the charge by dropping a double-double on 12 points and 13 rebounds. Hope Barnard was another key player, going 6 of 15 on her way to 18 points and four steals.
