Everett, WA – Women's hoops tipped off on Wednesday night against a tough Olympic Rangers squad who boasted a 13-5 overall record coming into the contest. 8th ranked Olympic took #3 ranked Peninsula down to the wire last weekend ultimately falling 69-67.

Jada Andresen connected on a three, and that got some scoring going for the Trojans, but OC stayed hot and extended their lead to 16 at the quarter break.
Olympic kept it going in the second quarter, and ended the half shooting 55% from three making eight of ten. EvCC was led in scoring by Jada Andresen's 9 points, but the Trojans trailed 56-20 at the break.
