OLIN – Carson’s leading scorer Ellie Wilhelm didn’t score any points on Friday, but it didn’t matter.

Carson can get points from a lot of places, and Maci Cooper jumped off the bench to make five 3-pointers and score 17 points in a 60-30 romp at North Iredell.

Cooper tied her senior high. Carson led 35-10 at halftime.

“We didn’t start great, but then Maci came in and scored eight quick points,” Carson coach Brooke Stouder said. “She got us going.”

Cooper shot 5-for-9 on 3-pointers, while Colbie Perry was 4-for-8 from long range. Carson made 11 3-pointers.

“We shot it a lot better than we have lately and we also had a good defensive effort,” Stouder said. “We shut them out in the second quarter — pitched a shutout. The girls were proud of that. Our press caused a lot of turnovers. It was a good road win.”

Carleigh Perry scored nine points. Lani Isley had seven rebounds, and Taylor Conrad had five rebounds.

Bailey Barzee scored 10 for North Iredell (3-17, 0-6).
