FIELD 48, MOGADORE 40

The Falcons won their rivalry showdown over the Wildcats on Wednesday in Mogadore.

Delilah Rahe scored a game-high 25 points, hitting a total of 11 field goals along the way. She also had a game-high 14 rebounds.

She was the only Falcons player to reach double-digits, as Field (6-4) survived another difficult night at the free-throw line.

Field managed to hit just 4-of-19 from the charity stripe. Free throws have been a season-long struggle for the Falcons, who are hitting at just about 45 percent as a team on the season.

Mogadore’s leading scorer on Wednesday was Amelia Morris, who dropped in 15 points, while also grabbing a team-high nine rebounds.
