They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 62-59 win over the Nixon-Smiley Mustangs on Tuesday. The Beavers have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Mustangs, too.
When it comes to explaining why Nixon-Smiley lost, don't look at Ashly Garcia. Despite the final result, she almost dropped a double-double on 20 points and nine rebounds. Garcia is also on a roll when it comes to steals, as she's now grabbed two or more in the last six games she's played dating back to last season. Janice White was another key player, posting four points along with five rebounds and three steals.
