Findlay 5-foot-7 freshman guard Davinee Harris scored 24 points to lead the Trojans to a 38-23 Northern Lakes League Buckeye Division victory over Perrysburg Thursday.

The Yellow Jackets were without five players, including four starters — 5-foot-11 junior center Hayden Siebenaller, 5-7 sophomore guard Lauren McConnachie and 6-0 junior forward Sophie Mitchell, plus 5-9 senior guard Chloe Kilbride is injured. Most of the others were out with illness.

"We don't have four starters here so I knew we would be thin," Perrysburg coach Todd Sims said. "I loved our effort, they got some good shots, and they just weren't falling for us tonight."

Harris hit three shots from the arc and was the only Findlay player in double figures, but she was more than enough since the Trojans held the Yellow Jackets to six second half points.

Sims liked the defensive effort, but containing Harris was the challenge.

"Defensively, we held them to 38, but offensively they have a very good player and we'll try some different stuff with them the next time," Sims said.

Perrysburg junior center Janie Bortz led the Jackets with 10 points, junior guard Addy Byrne had two three-point goals and scored eight points, sophomore guard Carly Friar and junior forward Reagan Gray scored two apiece, and senior guard Sydney Evert added one point for the Yellow Jackets.

"We lost but we played hard," Bortz said. "We'll be back for sure."

For Findlay, sophomore guard Mya Hammer scored five points, sophomore guard Abanna Dotson scored three points, and Ryan Boes, Mihaya Saito and senior post Addi Shinn contributed two points apiece.

Findlay is 11-2 overall and 2-2 in the NLL, while Perrysburg slips to 8-6 and 1-3. Sims said when the Jackets take on the Trojans at Perrysburg, four of the five players will play, but Kilbride, one of the team's top scorers, is likely out for the season.

"It's going to be a whole different team that we'll have the next time, but I loved our effort," Sims said. "Everybody played hard."
