The Cedar Ridge women’s basketball team won its season game of the season on Monday night. Senior Amiyah Ware scored 15 points while Sarah Utley added eleven as the Red Wolves defeated Northern Durham 59-27 at Red Wolves Gymnasium. The Red Wolves led at the end of the first quarter 19-2 following the opening field goals from Cameron Copeland and Addie Reid. The Red Wolves shot 7-of-10 from the field in the opening quarter and never looked back. Cedar Ridge beat a previously undefeated Northern Durham team who came in 2-0. Cameron Copeland finished with six points and three rebounds, while Cyani Jacobs had six points and four rebounds. Cedar Ridge head coach Megan Skouby, who played college basketball at Iowa, has spent the past three years building the Red Wolves program from the bare bones. Before Skouby joined the program, during the pandemic, Cedar Ridge had only five players for some home games where fans weren’t permitted to attend. Since then, Skouby has built the program to where Cedar Ridge is fielding a junior varsity program. Last year, the Red Wolves won two Central Conference games and this year they’re focused on taking another step up in the Central Conference. Cedar Ridge will travel to Northern Durham on Wednesday afternoon at 5 o’clock.
