Gertz-Ressler had to start their season on the road on Thursday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They were dealt a 50-16 defeat at the hands of the Animo Watts Warriors. The Pumas were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Warriors apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in November of 2017.
Animo Watts was led to victory by Trisha Hernandez and Caitlin Rosales. Hernandez shot 5-for-7 from beyond the arc and almost dropped a double-double on 28 points and nine rebounds, while Rosales dropped a double-double on 16 points and 18 rebounds. Rosales is on a roll when it comes to rebounds, as she's now pulled down ten or more in the last nine games she's played dating back to last season.
Animo Watts' victory was their eighth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 3-0.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Gertz-Ressler will get a bit of extra time to process the defeat as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Neuwirth Leadership Academy at 4:30 p.m. on December 3rd. After both having extra time off, Animo Watts and Alliance Bloomfield will shake off the cobwebs and take on one another at 5:30 p.m. on December 3rd.
