Veritas Christian’s girls basketball team grinded out a 42-37 road victory over Faith Christian on Thursday in Kansas City, Mo.

The Eagles (6-2) were playing without three players, but an 18-point first quarter gave them plenty of momentum. Tori Huslig led with 22 points.

“Thought the start we had helped us, and it was good to see after our loss on Tuesday that we were able to shake that off and play well from the opening tip,” Veritas coach Kevin Shelton said.
