After losing its first 11 meetings against Riverton, Herriman’s girls’ basketball team broke through in a big way Tuesday night. The Mustangs routed their visitors 66-45 and celebrated appropriately after finally beating their neighbors to the east.
“It’s amazing to finally get over this hump and have the confidence to beat them,” senior guard Milee Enger said. “Riverton always has a good program. To come in here and play so well and come away with a victory is huge for us.”
Enger led the way with a season-high 23 points and five 3-pointers. Jalyn Van Dyke added 19 points to keep Herriman (14-2, 3-0) unbeaten in Region 3 and on pace for a first-place showdown with Copper Hills.
