Dearica Hamby was the star for Vinyl, scoring 35 points while also securing 15 rebounds. This was the club’s third consecutive loss after a 2-0 start to the season.
Mist improves to 1-4 and the club will hope they can carry over momentum from this win. It will be a short rest prior to this, as Mist is back in action on Monday against Phantom Basketball Club. Phantom took the opening match between the two teams 74-69 and are currently 2-3.
