Lilly Williams scored 14 points to lead the Mavs, but it wouldn’t be enough to keep up with Shorecrest, the No. 8-ranked 3A team in the state, according to the most recent WIAA RPI ranking).
The Scots’ Amanda Lee led all scorers in the game with 22 points; Sydney VanNess contributed 13 points while Audrey Dietz tallied 10 in the win.
Meadowdale has three dates left in the 2018-2019 regular season: The squad travels to Lynnwood on Tuesday, Jan. 29, then closes out at home against Mountlake Terrace on Feb. 1 and Archbishop Murphy on Feb. 4. The postseason will likely begin for the Lady Mavs with a play-in loser-out game in the District 1/2 3A Girls Basketball Tournament on Feb. 4.
