Another week, another win.

And so it went for the NRHEG girls’ basketball team, which remained undefeated after five games with a 58-51 triumph over visiting Medford Friday night.

According to Panthers coach Onika Peterson, the final outcome was probably closer than it should have been.

“We were able to make big runs throughout the game and at one point had a lead of 19,” said Peterson. “However, at times we got lackadaisical in our defense and they were able to hit some big shots and kept working their way back in. We need to make sure that we play to our full potential throughout the whole game and not just when the game is close.”

The Panthers outrebounded the Tigers 41-22 but had 18 turnovers to Medford’s 11. NRHEG was 14-for-39 on two-point shots, 7-for-13 on threes and 9-for-19 at the line while Medford went 15-for-52, 4-for-11 and 9-for-15.

Individually for NRHEG: Marnie Wagner 19 points, 12 rebounds; Kaylie Camerer 13 points, three rebounds, two blocks; Rachel Collins 10 points, three rebounds, three assists; Hailey Schuller nine points; Maddie Wagner five points, 14 rebounds, five assists, one block; Emily Eder two points; Kelly Harden four rebounds.

The NRHEG JV won 42-35.
