The Sehome girls' basketball team jumped out to a quick start with Hallie Messenger's four 3-pointers in its 45-32 win over Mount Baker in a Northwest Conference game Tuesday, Jan. 8, at Sehome High School.

The Mariners (8-5, 4-1 NWC) outscored Mount Baker 17-4 in the first quarter.

"I thought we played a really good first quarter and a good fourth quarter," Sehome coach Kim Kirk said in a phone interview. "Credit to Baker, they turned it up on defense in the second and third and forced us into some silly turnovers."

Mount Baker (5-7, 0-4 NWC) was able to force 28 turnovers and had only 18 of its own.

Rachel Albert led the Mariners with 15 points, 17 rebounds, seven assists and seven blocks.

Emily Yost led the Mountaineers with 10 points.

Mount Baker travels to Sedro-Woolley on Thursday, Jan. 10, while Sehome plays at Blaine on Tuesday, Jan. 15.
