Adams led the Lady Eagles in rebounding with 13, including 12 on the defensive end of the floor.

Two nights earlier, Lanesville got 25 points and five rebounds from Adams in a 67-33 rout over host Orleans.

Wernert added 16 points and seven rebounds, and Morgan Sonner chipped in 10 as nine different Lady Eagles scored.
