The Allen Red Devils got back on track with Wednesday’s 64-53 victory over the North Central Missouri College Lady Pirates.
After a rough go in Iowa last weekend, where the Red Devils had their undefeated streak snapped with a pair of losses, Allen righted the ship just before the Christmas break.
Freshman guard Jennyfer Gros had a breakout performance with a team-leading 17 points, but freshman forward Joniya Lewis stole the show with an astounding 15 rebounds to complement her 7-point contribution.
Allen jumped out to a 16-10 lead after the first quarter, overwhelming NCMC in the paint with put-backs from close range. The Red Devils inched away slowly until pulling away late with a 21-point fourth quarter.
Sophomore forward Tawhirikura Doyle came off the bench for 8 points, followed by Lewis, Rojas, sophomore guard Nikki Gear and freshman forward Jalynn Weakley with 7 points each.
Freshman forward Emma Varennes had six rebounds to complement her 5-point contribution and sophomore center Ja’Mya Garland came off the bench for four rebounds.
With the win, the Red Devils improved to 8-2. They hope to make it 9-2 when they head on the road Saturday for a 2 p.m. tip-off against Treasure Valley.
