It was the first time this season that Honeycutt pulled down eight or more rebounds. The team also got some help courtesy of Kierra Wilson, who dropped a double-double on ten points and 14 rebounds.
Leading Winamac to victory were Marissa Iverson and Maggie Smith. Iverson scored 11 points along with eight rebounds, while Smith scored 15 points. Another player making a difference was Sadie Popejoy, who scored nine points along with two steals.
