This loss to Tahanto puts us at 0-4. Bill Marsh of the Clinton Item has the details. I snipped the first half of the article, which deals with the boys' team loss:

With its win over SLA, and its 40-17 loss to Whitinsville-Christian on Wednesday night, the Tahanto girls own an overall record of 2-2. SLA is 1-2.
Stags junior forward Abbe Erle led her team with nine points. Junior Nikki Scott scored eight points for Tahanto, and junior guard Chelsea Blackmer netted seven.
The high scorer for SLA was junior Rebecca Barcelo, who scored nine points.
The Stags got off to a fast start behind the scoring of Erle, Scott, Blackmer, and eighth-grader Brandi Richmond. Tahanto led 25-8 at the half.
In the second half, both coaches substituted freely.
SLA sophomore Anny Cunha and Blackmer both had 3-pointers in the game.
"We just played our up-tempo game (against SLA)," Tahanto coach Kim Dufresne said. "We ran the floor. "I thought Nikki Scott had a big game, and Abby Erle had a big first half," she said.
"We lost three of our starters from last year," SLA coach Lance Harris said. "Two graduated, and one moved. Most of the girls are inexperienced players, but we look to improve as the season progresses."
