DAVIS, Calif. – Brynne Burrows scored a career-high 16 points to lead the St. Francis freshmen to the 41-25 win over Davis Thursday night.

Sydney Galvan chipped in eight points and Gabi Lopez added nine points, including seven in the second half as St. Francis improved to 10-4.

“It felt really good,” said Galvan. “It was great to see everyone come together. We have worked really hard in practice and it was good to it pay off.”

Galvan added two baskets in the second half and finished with a team-best 10 rebounds.

“It felt awesome to contribute,” said Galvan. “Even if I didn’t score, the rebounds and everyone getting boards and finding passes show you are putting in work.”

Lily McLoughlin scored six points along with six boards, two assists and seven steals.

“It made us more intense going to another school and knowing they are looking to play us made us more excited,” said Galvan.

Davis and St. Francis are the two schools to field a freshmen team in the Delta League this season.”

“It feels really good,” said Burrows. “We have already tied (for first) in league and we are not losing league. Coach said she would buy us all sweatshirts if we win.”
