Medford jumped out to an early lead with a relentless press break and pressure on defense forcing several turnovers.
Burlington was unable to overcome the early turnovers and come back into the game.
Up next it was the Kremlin-Hillsdale Lady Broncs taking on the DCLA Lady Eagles whom they defeated 78-22. It was similar to the Medford game where relentless pressure from the Lady Broncs never let the Lady Eagles get into a rhythm.
