Bentonville had three players score in double-digits on its way to win No. 20 after the team beat Rogers Heritage on Friday night.

Avery Hughes led the Lady Tigers (20-3, 9-1) with 13 points. Maryam Dauda followed with 12, and Emily Sanders had 11. Hughes also led the team with five assists, and Dauda corralled in a game-high seven rebounds. Bentonville had 10 players score during the game, which pleased coach Tom Halbmaier.

"It's nice to have that balance," Halbmaier said. "We just had good balance throughout our whole lineup tonight, and the shots, they were aggressive and good-looking shots. I thought our kids played a complete game tonight."

The Lady Tigers had some support from their bench as Kadie Kultgen scored eight points and provided some tenacity for Bentonville. The sophomore forced three jump balls in the second quarter alone as the team attacked Heritage on sides of the court all night.

Maddie Lynge and Danielle Dickerson each had six points to lead the Lady War Eagles (5-16, 1-9). Heritage kept attacking the paint on offense, looking for a kick out to their shooters behind the three-point line, but Bentonville was able to collapse the middle and force Heritage to take some rushed shots inside the arc.
