Junior guard Layni Dukes tallied eight points, four rebounds and three steals. Senior Ryley McCluskey had five points and five steals. Junior Bella Marinelli hit for seven points with four steals.
Playing a consistent defensive game down low was Royals senior Josephine Peranteau, who continues to be a leader on the court.
“Things kind of got a little scrappy,” said Peranteau. “They were aggressive, so I had to get more aggressive down low. We just have to come out aggressive from the start and keep it going.”
The Golden Knights were led by Laniah Wright with five points. Kayla Jacko scored four.
The Royals will travel to Brandywine for a game at 3:30 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 20, before heading to Sussex Tech at 5:15 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 21.
