Basalt trips Eagle Valley
GYPSUM ” Basalt’s one-two scoring punch of Lauren Redfern and Rochelle Moebius was too much for the host Eagle Valley Devils Tuesday night.

The win kept Basalt unbeaten in the WSL, raising their record to 6-0 in league and 9-2 overall.
Eagle Valley, who was tied for second place with idle Roaring Fork prior to Tuesday’s game, fell to 4-2 in league and 5-4 overall.

Eagle Valley, fueled by the hot-shooting Kelsey Shreeve (20 points) took a four-point lead at the end of the first quarter and extended their advantage to 27-21 at intermission.
Down by six at halftime, Basalt took control in the third period when they outscored the Devils, 17-9 to take a one-point lead at the end of the quarter.
Basalt extended the margin in the final eight minutes by scoring 15 points against Eagle Valley’s 11.
The Longhorn boys dropped a 62-48 decision to Eagle Valley in the nightcap. No other information was available at press time.
