Kendall managed just 11 points on offense through the first half to trail 29-11 and never recovered in a 45-21 loss to Alexander in girls’ basketball.
Jenna Regan and Lizzie Sutphen hit field goals while Elizabeth Rath added a pair of free throws over the first eight minutes as the Eagles trailed by as many as nine points.
Taylor ReQua and Daniela Volkmar managed the only baskets of the second quarter and Alexander went on a 10-1 to build their lead to 18 at the half.
The Eagles tightened up on the defensive end of the court in the third quarter and outscored the Trojans 7-6 with ReQua scoring five of her team-best ten points and Emily Mattle adding two free throws.
But a three-pointer from ReQua were the only points scored by the Eagles in the final quarter as Alexander sealed the win.
ReQua finished with a double-double with her ten points and ten rebounds to go with three steals, two blocks and two assists. Mattle scored three points while Rath chipped in seven boards from her guard position.
“We defend everybody, but we need to find a way to score,” Kendall head coach Jeff Parizek said. “Our team never quits and plays hard from start to finish, which is what I love about them.”
The regular season ends February 14 on senior night against Rochester Prep before the Section V playoffs.
