MONROE — The Staples High girls basketball team lost 69-41 in a Wednesday visit to out-of-conference opponent Masuk.
The Wreckers trailed 36-23 at the half and put some pressure on the Panthers to chip away early in the third before the hosts fully seized control. Masuk made a dozen 3-pointers in the game.
Staples was led by Sarah VonDohlen with 12 points, including a pair of 3-pointers, and Marley Belzer with 11. Sofia Martin scored six and Freya Harvey added four points.
The Wreckers will visit Sheehan in Wallingford at 2:30 p.m. Friday, and return home to face Westhill of Stamford at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 3. (Game schedules are subject to change; click for the latest CIAC updates.)
