Canton's defense made things tough on Van in the first half of their Jan. 13 meeting, holding the Lady Vandals to just seven first half points.
The Canton Eaglettes and Van Lady Vandals clashed for the first time this season Jan. 13, each looking to tighten their grip as one of the four playoff qualifiers that will come out of District 13-4A at the end of the regular season.
Riding a suffocating defense and eight made three-pointers, the Eaglettes put on a strong showing to secure a 56-34 win over their longtime rivals.
Van jumped out to an early lead in the first quarter, getting four points from Catherine Gisore and three from Macy Rucker in the opening minutes. The tide would turn quickly however, as Hannah Manry would go on to finish with four made three-pointers in the frame to guide the Eaglettes to a 19-7 lead after one quarter of play.
