Led by 19 points from Brittany Martin and 14 from Amanda Riiff, the Chargers took control midway through the third and dominated from then on in, taking advantage of poor shooting and a foul-happy East defense to finish it off.

In a team full of district and region champions, Morett has gone through some bumps in the road that have resulted in a sub-500 record.
