BELLINGHAM, WA – The Burlington-Edison Tigers held Meridian to single digit scoring in each quarter on their way to a 60-27 victory over the Trojans in Northwest Conference girls’ high school basketball action webcast live here at WinNW.com.

The Lady Tigers pounced on the Trojans early, building a 20-7 first quarter advantage and 33-14 halftime lead en-route to their sixth straight win heading into Saturday’s showdown with Lynden, a game which we’ll also webcast live here at WinNW.com.

Burlington-Edison’s Sydney Brown led all scorers with 15 points on five 3-pointers, Ryleigh Swagerty added 14 points, with Katlyn Mataya and Ellary Torset scoring 8 points each as the Tigers took 85 shots from the field while limiting Meridian to 42 shots. Burlington-Edison limits opponents to a conference low average of just 33 points per game.

The Lady Tigers (13-2, 7-1 NWC), under first year head coach Bruce Shearer, continue the winning tradition established by former head coach Mike Buckholz, who retired after leading Burlington-Edison to a second place finish at last year’s state 2A tournament.

Ali Wason’s nine points led Meridian (4-10, 1-7 NWC) in scoring. Along with being outshot from the field by a 2-to-1 margin, the Trojans committed a season high 38 turnovers.
