It would certainly seem that way, as after beating Pioneer Valley Conference opponent Fort Frye Tuesday evening in the first game of a league gauntlet, the Lady Zeps (6-11, 4-8 PVC) notched another key victory against visiting Frontier Wednesday evening, 46-36. "I am starting to see Cali (Ginn) become more of a team leader, filling that void for us," Miley observed. "She is understanding when to push the ball from the point guard position, and when to hold up-- as a result, this team is gelling together." The Lady Zeps entered halftime tied at 16 with the Lady Cougars, but a 30-18 scoring advantage in the final frame fueled Shenandoah on to victory. Miranda Redden led the Shenandoah scoring attack with 16 points, while spearheading the defense with four steals. Ginn added 11 markers; Sami Schott secured a whopping 16 rebounds and scored nine points; and Nicole Sills tallied five counters.
