Colette Gall scored 21 points and Ashley Stewart added 16 on Tuesday to lead Hanford to a 69-44 victory against visiting Pasco in Mid-Columbia Conference action.
Hanford jumped out to a 29-6 lead after one quarter. Coach Evan Woodward credited much of that to the return of point guard Savanna Steele (11 points) after missing two games with injury.
“The girls played with a lot of energy in the offense, and that continued on the defensive end,” said Woodward, whose club has two big games with Richland and Walla Walla on Friday and Saturday.
The Bulldogs got a big night from Melissa Rodriguez, whose 24 points accounted for more than half her team’s scoring. Bibiana Gonzalez chipped in 12 points.
