On Wednesday, the Marauders Women’s Basketball team took on the Barstow Vikings at the AVC Marauders Gym. The Vikings beat the Marauders 4 times in 32 games, winning two in a row the first time at the Marauders gym. But with the Marauders basketball team’s clutch cylinder shots, the Vikings had a challenge. But on Wednesday, one of AVC’s top players and catalysts sat on the sidelines nursing her bad ankle. AVC struggled without their top player and lost for the second straight time to Barstow. The final score was 56-47. Maurisha McKissic lead AVC in scoring with 11 points and 10 rebounds. Whitney Washington scored 10 points and hustled 11 rebounds, while Ashleigh Wilson, who was only 3 for 18 from the field, scored 10 points and grabbed 9 rebounds.
