Bazzell records 100th point, Engineers ease by Lin-Wood
Janet Bazzell's goal in the first half of Woodsville's game against Lin-Wood not only gave her team a 3-0 lead, it gave her 100 career points. Later Bazzell would add to her tally as the Lady Engineers picked up a 5-0 victory.
Before the season Bazzell needed 28 points to reach 100. "I just kept telling myself, you can do this," Bazzell said of reaching the 100 point milestone. "It was important to me," she added of the goal she set her freshman year.
Although Bazzell scored her 100th point, she admitted it isn't all about scoring for her. "More than anything I want to win the game." It is that kind of attitude that has the Engineers undefeated. "She has all the skills," Leafe said of his star player. "She catches the defense flat-footed. I haven't seen one person that can stop her. If we didn't have Janet we wouldn't be where we are."
