Following her was Charlee Peters with seven, Claudia Dirksen with four and Kaddy Stout with two.

The eighth grade team (0-1) had a more even distribution of points. Gabi Petro led the way with seven points. Right behind her were Raylin Hummer and Natalie May with six apiece. The final 10 points came from Elizabeth Brunswick and Amelia Heath who each scored five.
