Speaking of the Summit girls, the Storm came into their first-round game with the most regular-season wins in program history. The first half and into the third quarter, they were in a dogfight with Eagle Point, but through strong defense, the Storm prevailed winning 54-37. The Storm have a tough task ahead as they face the Panthers, who they have lost to twice this season by double digits.
