Neuse Charter 55, North Duplin 20

* CALYPSO -- Abby Lampe recorded a triple-double on Wednesday evening, paving the way for Neuse Charter's 55-20 triumph over Carolina 1-A Conference opponent North Duplin.

The junior guard's effort included 16 points, 10 rebounds and 10 steals.

Lampe attacked the glass early and often, securing extra possessions in the opening quarter that her mates q uickly turned into transition baskets. After eight minutes, the Cougars held a 14-3 advantage.

Matters would only become more lopsided from there.

Neuse Charter (10-3 overall, 2-0 CC) used a swarming press to stretch its working margin to 24 after three quarters, ultimately playing much of its bench in the final stanza.

The Cougars also received contributions from Kayla Ham, who finished with 11 points. Versatile forward McKenna Kersat secured a double-double, which included 10 points and 10 rebounds.

Kiondra Webb filed nine points.

North Duplin (0-8, 0-3) was led by point guard Mary Taylor Jones, who fought her way to a team-high 11 points. Junior Alyssa Santos registered five points and five rebounds.

Destiny George and Brooke Cottle scored two points apiece.

Weather permitting, Neuse Charter is the guest of Hobbton on Friday. North Duplin's matchup with neighboring Rosewood has been postponed due to inclement weather. No make-up date has been announced.
