WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. -- The Mount Greylock girls' basketball team put its five-game losing streak to bed in commanding fashion on Monday, scoring a season high in points in a 63-36 home win over Mount Everett. 

The Mounties (5-11) received balanced scoring from eight different players and jumped on the Eagles (7-10) early, opening a 20-6 lead by the end of the first quarter. Paul Barrett's squad essentially put the game away in the second quarter, allowing just two points to Everett on its way to a 19-point lead at the break. 

Sophomore captain Lucy Barrett led the Greylock offense, sinking a pair of 3-pointers on her way to a 15-point evening. She also added nine rebounds and three assists, while senior forward Margot Besnard earned a double-double with 13 points and 10 boards. Junior forward Mackenzie Flynn also had a solid night with 13 points and seven caroms.
