The Pirates traveled to Eagle Mountain on Thursday night to take on Rockwell. Green River struggled to get going early, allowing the Marshals to gain a 20-13 lead at the break.
The Pirates fought incredibly hard in the third quarter and scored more than they did in the first half. The 15 point-effort made it a two-point game, but that is as close as it would come. The Marshals rallied late and went on to win 48-42.
Abigail Erwin led the scoring with 23 points, including one three-pointer. Jenilee Keener also hit a three and ended the night with 11 points. Also chipping in with six points was Rosa Barragan while Jordynne Gringerich scored two.
The Pirates (1-11) will now gear up for their first region game against Whitehorse (2-7) on the road Friday.
