Hagerty didn't have too much breathing room in their game against East River when the teams last played back in December of 2023, but they still walked away with a 50-45 victory. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was East River's Yariana Lugo Perez, who went 10 for 15 en route to 23 points and six rebounds. Now that she won't be playing on Wednesday, will it be easier for Hagerty to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
