MONITEAU 52, KARNS CITY 46

WEST SUNBURY, Pa. — Moniteau rode strong first and third quarters to its first win over Karns City in nearly five years with a 52-46 victory over the visiting Lady Gremlins.

The Lady Warriors, who last beat Karns City Feb. 13, 2012, and had lost 10 straight to their rival, built a 17-8 lead at the end of the first quarter on the strength of 11 points from Alazia Greaves, who hit three 3-pointers in the quarter on her way to a game-high 23 points.

Then, after Karns City had clawed back to within six, 24-18, at halftime, Moniteau outscored the Lady Gremlins 16-10 in the third quarter behind six points apiece from Kennedy DeMatteis and Emma Bair, who each finished with 12 tallies in the game, to go up 12, 40-28, by the end of the quarter.

Bair added six blocked shots and six rebounds, while DeMatteis completed a double-double with 11 rebounds.

Karns City, which saw a 29-game win streak vs. KSAC teams — North and South including KSAC Title Games, come to an end got 19 points from Mackenzie Craig, including eight in the first quarter, 10 from Emily Hegedus and nine from Alyssa Gibson.

The loss was the Lady Gremlins first vs. a KSAC opponent since Keystone won at Karns City, 61-47, Jan. 21, 2015, and the first on the road to a KSAC foe since falling to Redbank Valley, 49-41, Jan. 20, 2014. It was also Moniteau’s first win over Karns City since beating the Lady Gremlins, 46-29, in 2012.
