MENDON — Visiting Brandywine overcame a slow start to knock off host Mendon 46-33 in a non-conference girls basketball game Monday night.
The top-ranked Bobcats used 10 3-pointers to subdue the Hornets, who led 8-3 after one quarter of play.
Mendon (9-2) used a box-and-one defense against Brandywine leading scorer Carlie Newman, who still ended up with 15 points.
“Carlie did a phenomenal job of being unselfish with the basketball tonight,” Brandywine coach Josh Hood said.
The Bobcats (12-0) outscored the Hornets 17-7 in the second quarter to take a 20-15 halftime advantage.
Brandywine would never look back.
The Bobcats led by nine points, 34-25, heading into the final eight minutes of play and outscored Mendon 12-8 to finish off the Hornets.
Mackenzie Shelton had a solid night for Brandywine as she tossed in a game-high and season-high 16 points to go along with eight assists and four steals. Newman also had five steals to go along with her 15 points.
“Mackenzie by far had her best game of the season,” Hood said.
Brooke Smith grabbed a team-high seven rebounds.
Brooke Howard was the lone Hornet to reach double digits as she scored 15 points.
