The Carbon Lady Dinos jumped out to a huge lead in the first quarter and kept their collective foot on the gas pedal in the team’s opening round 64-34 victory over the Stansbury Stallions Thursday night in the 3A Quarterfinals in Cedar City.
Taylor Passarella led the Lady Dinos with 13 points. Chandelle Nichols and Sara Morley each contributed 11 apiece. In all, eight Carbon players scored in the game.
The win marked the second time in two years that Carbon has beaten Stansbury in the quarters. Last year’s overtime matchup ended in a 50-48 Carbon win.
Carbon will await the winner of the Juan Diego/Cedar game that had a tip time of 9:10. The two will then play on Friday at 5:50 p.m. in the semifinals.
