RIVERDALE The young sophomore scores 18 of the team's 26 second half points to end the Lady Jaguars two game losing streak.
Wright showed off her range by being responsible for all but one of Spalding's made threes. Each three-pointer she made put a dagger in Riverdale's attempt to comeback.
Spalding's perimeter shooting was the key to their lead. With Riverdale not relying heavily on the outside shot, they made their point of focus to attack the inside. They appeared to dominate the glass in the first half but couldn't capitalize on second chance opportunities.
The Lady Raiders had a great third quarter, getting steals and scoring on the other end. Riverdale outscored Spalding 10-7 to enter the fourth trailing by one.
Following a free throw made by the Lady Raiders, Wright hit back-to-back threes to give her team the six point lead. She followed with a three point play opportunity to increase the Lady Jaguars lead that they kept throughout the game.
Spalding won the game 45-35 and improved to 4-3 and ended Riverdale's two game winning streak.
