Kyla Harston tossed in five points, Kelly Ashcraft had two points with Cambria Williams chipping in one point for the Lady Warriors. “We got in foul trouble early and missed some open shots in the first half. We cut it to four and a couple blown defensive assignments and they made us pay for it. Riverside is a good ball club, hats off to them,” EPC head coach Spencer Harston said after the game.
