During the first quarter, junior Abigail Long surpassed the school record of the most three-pointers made in a season, making 62 three-pointers baskets this season. “I was not expecting to break the record this season because I was out for the beginning of the season with an injury,” Long said. “It truly came as a surprise.” Long also holds the school’s record for the most career three-pointers with 149 as a junior. At the end of the first quarter, SM South lead the game 17-6. At halftime, the score was 28-11 with SM South in the lead. Ending the third quarter, the score was 35-26 in favor of SM South.
