Pennridge runs past Quakertown for win

Pennridge has endured its share of tough losses this season however Tuesday night they got off the schneid with a 77-47 win over visiting Quakertown. The Rams led the game just about start to finish and were able to execute efficiently on offense and defense.

“[This was az much needed win tonight,” said Pennridge coach Lindsey Tennett. “I told them they needed to come out aggressive and they did.”

Pennridge had a noticeable advantage in rebounds, which allowed them to get out and run on the fast break. The Rams also had success in their half court sets with shots coming from all over the court.

“The past couple games we have been struggling with rebounding,” Tennett said. “Today we boxed out and got rebounds. We’re a short quick team. We need to run and get transition points.”

Pennridge had a balanced scoring attack through out the game with 10 players registering points and four players scoring at least eight points. Devan Rimmer lead all Rams with 14 points.

“Rimmer, we can always rely on her,” Tennett said. “She’s someone that I know every game she’ll be a leader and come out like that.

“We made free throws,” Tennett said. “Last time we played them we missed 25 free throws. Tonight we were probably 80 percent which always helps.”
