St. Jude creamed Francis Marion in a 73-23 win on Friday.

“Even though this was a one-sided game, we came out with the same intensity every night, no matter what the level of competition,” said Francis Marion coach Karimah Collins.

St Jude’s full court press played a big factor in the game, and Marion couldn’t get its offense going. The Pirates outscored the Rams 46-12 in the first half, and never looked back.

Teralisha Baty led the Lady Pirates with 15 points. Taylor Sippial added 14, Kristalyne Todd contributed 13, and Shundray Davis added 12.

Khadijah Bates led the Rams with eight points.
