Williams-Goins is on a roll when it comes to points, as she's now scored 15 or more in the last seven games she's played.

Meanwhile, after a string of three wins, Eau Gallie's good fortune finally ran out on Thursday. They had to suffer through a rough 61-18 loss at the hands of Palm Bay. The result shouldn't come as a shock considering that's the fewest points Eau Gallie has scored all season.
Rockledge's win bumped their record up to 5-10. As for Eau Gallie, their loss ended a five-game streak of away wins and brought them to 11-9.
Rockledge might still be hurting after the 55-34 loss they got from Eau Gallie in their previous meeting back in February of 2023. Thankfully for Rockledge, Katelynn Hagy (who dropped a double-double on 15 points and 19 rebounds) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
