Rainier senior Faith Boesch was on fire from long range, drilling 9 of 18 3-pointers to break Rainier’s single-game 3-point record in a 62-44 road win over Eatonville on Monday.
Boesch’s nine treys broke Ashley Stancil’s previous record of eight set in 2012.
“It was nice to see the ball finally go in the hoop for her,” Rainier coach Brandon Eygabroad said. “She’s been talking about breaking the school record for a while now.”
Boesch’s big night came at the perfect time as the Mountaineers were trailing 13-8 heading into the second quarter. Boesch then drilled 6 of 8 from downtown en route to an 18-point second quarter to give Rainier a 32-24 lead at the break.
Boesch would go on to finish with a game-high 29 points, including a blazing 9 of 18 from beyond the arc.
Bryn Beckman provided some added firepower for the Mountaineers, finishing with 15 points and 14 rebounds on 7 of 14 shooting. Isabella Holmes contributed seven points, nine rebounds and five assists, with all five coming from Boesch 3-pointers.
Rainier (11-4, 5-2 C2BL) continues league play when it hosts Toutle Lake on Thursday.
