St. Albert turned a 4 point halftime lead into a 16 point lead by the end of the third quarter and picked up a road win over Atlantic on Monday night. The Saintes won the game 56-33 to improve to 7-4.

The Saintes jumped on top early 12-4 by the end of the first quarter, with the Trojans failing to score a field goal in the period. A 7-0 run by Atlantic got them right back in the game but the Saintes did enough to hold the lead at the break 20-16. Lena Rosloniec and Grace Manz scored 6 each in the third to help the Saintes pull away. Atlantic Coach Dan Vargason thought his team got sped up and unsettled by the Saintes.

Coach Vargason called multiple timeouts in the third quarter, upset with the effort and energy his team had. He said the energy was just lacking.

Pearl Reisz led the Saintes with 15 points, hitting a couple of threes in the fourth. Manz scored 11 and Rosloniec had 10.

Atlantic was led by 9 from Aubrey Guyer and 8 each from Paytn Harter and Jada Jensen. The Trojans fall to 3-9 on the season. They will host Clarinda on Tuesday night.
