WALKER — A slow start cost the Western Michigan Christian girls dearly on Friday night in a 49-31 loss to GR Covenant Christian.

The host Chargers led 29-8 at the half. The Warrior regrouped in the third quarter and put up 10 points in 3 minutes. However, Covenant led 42-23 after three quarters.

“We had a slow start to the game tonight,” Warrior coach Sarah Koetsier said. “Our shots were not falling in the first half. We switched up some things on defense and had a solid second half.”
