After an exciting double overtime Warsaw win in the JV game Tuesday night, the Lady Tiger Varsity basketball team took the floor looking to keep their perfect record in tact.

The Lady Tigers used a big 3rd quarter to position themselves for a 7th consecutive victory. Warsaw scored 19 3rd period points as the Eagles managed just 13.
