GRAND RAPIDS–A 7-0 Zeeland East run late in the third quarter sparked the Chix of Zeeland East to a tough victory over the Newaygo Lions on Wednesday.
Zeeland East captured a 31-22 victory in the game which was part of the Cornerstone University Holiday Tournament in Grand Rapids.
Grace Painter led the Lions in scoring with 12 points and six rebounds. Addison Goodin had a solid performance on the glass with nine rebounds and four points.
“I saw a lot of improvement tonight from the previous few games,” Newaygo coach Nate Thomasma said. “Offensively, we got good shots and once again we played good defense. We had our chances in this ball game to put some space between us and Zeeland East and we just couldn’t hit the big shot.”
Newaygo (1-5, 1-2) travels to Grant on January 6.
