Medical Lake’s girls’ basketball team never was able to recover from its slow start last Friday in their opening game of Northeast A League play, humbled by a 49-25 loss at Riverside.

The week opened with a 41-32 non-league loss to Great Northern League Colville last Tuesday.

The Rams (1-0 NEA, 5-1 overall) jumped out to a fast start by outscoring the Cardinals (0-1, 3-3) s17-8 in the first period. They ramped up the defensive pressure in the second quarter outscoring ML 11-3 to lead 28-11 at the break.

Sabrina Earle led Medical Lake with eight points.
