Bath upends North Canton Hoover

NORTH CANTON - Bath's Wildkittens drove to Canton and posted a 61-58 victory over host North Canton Hoover Monday in the North Canton Hoover Classic.

The Classic is not a tournament, in that each team plays two games against pre-named opponents and it's not based on winning or losing the first game.

Bath (8-0) will meet Cleveland Green tonight.

Stefanie Mauk led the Wildkittens with 24 points and 10 rebounds. Rachel Mauk added 15 points and two 3-pointers. Nicki Hopkins scored 12 points with three 3-pointers. Stephanie Sanders scored six points on two 3-pointers.

"We fought through adversity and a lot of foul trouble early to get the victory," Bath coach Greg Mauk said. "People stepped up when we had foul trouble. We had three players, including Stefanie Mauk get two fouls in the first half. We got good minutes from Rachel Dackin and Emily Mauk. ... And Stephanie Sanders hit two huge threes for us."
