The Meridian girls' basketball team suffered a 60-7 loss at home to Burlington-Edison in a Northwest Conference game Tuesday, Jan. 22.

"Burlington just came out and took control right from the beginning," Meridian coach Don McMains said in a phone interview. "It didn't help us that Taylor Lunde, one of our starters, was out. Their pressure took control of the game. I thought Allecia Galindo played very, very well for us tonight."

Galindo scored four points and Kendall DeMerice scored three for the Trojans (1-15, 0-8 NWC)

Meridian hosts Lynden Christian Thursday, Jan. 24, in a Northwest Conference game.
