The above picture sort of set the tone for the beginning of the game as Carol Willie and Ashlyn Wiemann prepare for the tip. Cy Falls was the R3 rep in Austin last season while Ranch had been riding high all season in hopes of doing the same thing however a season ending injury to Sydney Coleman appears to have changed that
Qua Cleveland got the Eagles going early scoring seven points in the opening quarter and after they led 19-8 after one, they never looked back winning 66-42/ Cleveland had double digits in the first half and finished with 15, while Willie added 13 plus an assortment of blocks and rebounds as she and Erin Caldwell controlled the paint
Kara Cezar came off the bench to jump start the Mustangs offense and gave them a big boost with 6 of their first 8 points but the Eagles were flying everywhere as their youth grew up fast on this night. 2016 Daja Craft joined the 2015 Cleveland in the starting lineup while 2015 Cierra Mackey and 2016 Kiara McElroy were two of the first players off the bench and all contributed in a huge way
Back to back losses now have Ranch in second place a game in the loss column behind Falls, Cy Creek and Cy Fair. Cezar finished with 16 points while Sabriyyah Fennell added 12
