MOWERYVILLE — The St. Joseph Female Flyers took their lunch box to work on Monday.

Despite playing with little emotion, the Female Flyers routed the Whiteoak Lady Wildcats 49-28.

“It was a workman-like job,” said St. Joseph coach Nick Miller. “We played good defense for the most part. We didn’t play with a lot of energy, but some of that was probably due to a two-hour ride.”

Hannah Miller scored 19 points and Amber Neal scored 14 to lead the Female Flyers (11-2).

Three players scored 6 points for Whiteoak (1-14) as no one reached double figures.

Lynsey Booker and Miller scored 5 points each in first quarter as both hit a 3-pointer and the Female Flyers grabbed a 13-8 lead. Morgan Campbell scored all 6 of her points in the quarter for Whiteloak.

Neal got 6 points in the second quarter as the lead grew to 26-14 at the half.

Miller and Hannah Martin combined for 9 points in the third quarter and St. Joseph stretched its lead to 39-22.

Miller got 7 more points in the fourth quarter to outscore the Lady Wildcats in the quarter.

St. Joseph visits Green at 6 p.m. on Thursday.
