Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Meridian to victory, but perhaps none more so than Nora Stufft, who posted eight points along with 15 boards and five steals. That's the most rebounds Stufft has posted since back in December of 2024. Another player making a difference was Charlotte Lieu, who earned nine points in addition to six assists and five boards.
Meridian has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 13 of their last 15 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 29.4 points over those games. Skyline's defeat dropped their record down to 17-6.
Looking ahead, Meridian will face off against James Monroe at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. James Monroe knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past 21 games -- so hopefully Meridian likes a good challenge. Skyline does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
