Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Mead to victory, but perhaps none more so than Elena Gomez, who went 5-for-9 to rack up 19 points. That's the most points Gomez has posted since back in December of 2024. Caroline Kron was another key player, putting up 11 points and eight rebounds.
Mead smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 13 offensive boards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least eight offensive rebounds in eight consecutive matches.
Despite the loss, Frederick still got an impressive performance from Kaylee Gardner, who earned eight points in addition to ten boards and five steals. Gardner is on a roll when it comes to steals, as she's now grabbed two or more in each of the last three games she's played.
Mead has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 14 of their last 15 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 23-3 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 57.2 points over those games. The defeat snapped Frederick's winning streak at nine games and leaves them with a 19-7 record.
Mead wasted no time getting back out on the court and has already played their next game, a 44-30 loss against Mullen on the 13th. Frederick does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
