Top-five Liberty girls dust off Davenport

DAVENPORT-The Liberty Lancer girls are the No. 5 ranked 2B team in the state, and sophomore point guard Teagan Colvin has a "90" rating out of 100 on ESPN.com. Both of those facts were plainly obvious Tuesday, as Liberty came into Davenport and had no trouble with the Gorillas while earning a 55-25 victory.

The Lancers jumped out to a quick 16-4 lead after a quarter, and built that lead to 31-10 at halftime. Davenport scored first in the second half, but Liberty led 51-19 after three quarters before pulling all its starters for the final frame.

Davenport was able to hold Liberty to 32% shooting, but shot just 24% itself while turning the ball over 22 times and forcing just four turnovers.

The Gorillas were led by junior Lena Waters, who scored six points and grabbed six rebounds. Junior Jensyn Jacobsen added six points and five rebounds for Davenport.

Liberty knocked down 10 three-pointers in the game, while Kiersten Kemmerer provided Davenport's only long-distance conversion.

Colvin, meanwhile, scored 23 points in the first three quarters before sitting the entirety of the fourth quarter.

Davenport fell to 0-3 in the nonleague contest, while Liberty improved to 4-0. The Gorillas will look to get in the win column with a trip to Lind-Ritzville/Sprague Friday, Dec. 10 before a rivalry date with Reardan Saturday, Dec. 11.
