MONITEAU 51, KEYSTONE 44

KNOX, Pa. – Behind a strong second half from Emma Bair, Moniteau was able to hold off Keystone, 51-44, for its second KSAC South victory of the season.

Bair scored 15 of her team-high 20 points and grabbed nine of her 13 rebounds after halftime helping the Lady Warriors expand a two-point halftime lead, 19-17, into the seven-point win.

Keystone, playing without leading scorer Taylor Geer (19.1 ppg), who was accounting for 48 percent of the team’s offense, because of a concussion, got down by double digits twice in the fourth quarter including 44-34 with 4:37 to play before rallying within one, 45-44, on a 3-pointer by freshman Danae Hurrelbrink.

Izzy Bair, who scored 16 points, got a key steal and basket with 1:22 left to help preserve the lead for Moniteau.
