Coach Justin Billings’ squad, however, turned up the defensive pressure and closed the county clash on a 15-4 run to claim an area win.

Daisy Manasco (nine), Emma Garcia (nine) and Molly McKelvy (eight) paced the Lady Aggies offensively.

Maddie Yeager (six), Jaycee Aleman (four), Payton Golden (two), Katie Ball (two) and Isabella McGukin (two) contributed for the Purple and Gold as well.

“At halftime, we realized we needed to get our head in the game, or we were going to lose both a county and an area game,” Yeager said. “We weren’t doing the little things, but we eventually picked it up.”
