Did you know? A "triple-double" occurs when a player records double-digit figures in three statistical categories during a single game, usually points, rebounds, and assists. While the achievement existed before, the term "triple-double" gained popularity in the 1980s thanks to the dazzling performances of Magic Johnson, who frequently racked up such stats.

Lily Bain led the way for the Eagles with 10 points and Amelia Jordan added 8 points. The Girls travel to OESJ tonight then travel to BKW on Friday for a rematch.
