The injury-depleted Shorewood girls basketball team went on a 21-4 streak to open the third quarter, opening a twenty point lead on their way to an easy 59-48 win over crosstown rival Shorecrest Wednesday night, December 17 in the T-Birds' gym.

Junior Lily Gustafson scored twelve of her game-high 24 points, and Senior Karrin Leazor added nine of her eleven points in the third quarter.

Shorewood was without the services of Lily's sister Abby Gustafson who sprained an ankle at practice on Tuesday, as well as freshman Kaitlyn Amundsen who suffered a devastating season-ending knee injury in Monday's game at Marysville-Pilchuck.

Sophomore Jalyn Hizey, a Scot last year who transferred this year to Shorewood, scored seven points against her old team, while Soph Danica Bernabe played a near-flawless game at point guard, scoring but two points but splendidly directing traffic and distributing the ball to her taller teammates.

Junior Wurrie Njadoe scored 18 points for the Scots, while teammate Jazzlyn Owens had twelve points on four 3-pointers.
