The new-look Red Devils did not disappoint in their home opener Tuesday night.

The Allen Red Devil  women made a strong first impression in Tuesday’s 85-27 rout of Bethel College’s reserve team.

With only three returning players from last year’s roster, the Red Devils may be more mature on the court than they are on paper. Several ACC freshmen scored in the double digits.

“The first group, at times, looked really good but the second and third groups have to do a better job at being patient with everything,” Allen coach Leslie Crane said.
