The Wyoming Area Lady Warriors put their undefeated record on the line as they traveled to Mountain Top to take on the Crestwood Comets. The Comets are coming in on a three game winning streak, beating Valley West, Coughlin and Hazleton Area. The Warriors are currently 11-0 on the season and hope to stay undefeated.

Riley Magin would give them the lead with a three pointer but it would be short lived as Sara Holweg hit a three to give the Warriors the lead once again.

Orzel would make both free throws to make it a six point game but the Comets would make their free throws as Crestwood handed Wyoming Area their first loss of the season with a 64-57 victory.

Thoughts on the game: It was a pretty interesting game to watch in all honesty. Crestwood's red hot shooting helped them greatly in the first half. Sara Hopkins played great during the game but started shining in the fourth quarter. She scored eight of her 13 points in the final frame. They also did a great job on the boards. For Wyoming Area, I will say I was very impressed by them. I thought Sara Holweg and Cassidy Orzel played great games tonight. I can understand why they were 11-0 coming into the game. I think you can see both these teams playing deep into February and potentially early March.
