ending the game in double figures. Hernandez added seven of her own and Willner hit three field goals to end the game with six.

Colby led Greenwood in field goal and three-point percentage and also had 15 steals in the game.

The Hornets struggled in their second matchup of the season, a non-conference game against Abbotsford. After going down 40-11 at halftime, Colby ultimately lost the game 65-26 to their neighbors to the north, with their inexperience showing at times. They committed 29 turnovers over the course of the game and were outrebounded 47-35. They also struggled shooting the ball, with an overall field goal percentage just under 20 and failing to make any of their 11 shots from beyond the threepoint arc. Willner and Orth combined for 14 of the team’s 26 points with seven each and Willner led the team with nine rebounds.

They also played a tight game against the Columbus Catholic Dons on Tuesday evening but couldn’t quite pull out the win, falling 51-47.

The Hornets held an 11-point advantage at one point in the second half. Down 21-19 coming out of halftime, the Hornets went on a 14-1 run to open play and take a 33-22 lead. That lead would dwindle slowly as play continued, and the game would turn into a back and forth affair as it pushed into the closing minutes.

Colby led 47-45 when Columbus’ Grace Wilczek hit a corner three to put the Dons up in the closing seconds. Colby could not convert on either of its two offensive possessions afterwards and Columbus made three of its four free throws to end the game.

Colby’s next game will be Monday, Nov. 28, where they will travel to take on Thorp. The start time for that game is 7:30 p.m.
