Bailee Goodlett had 12 points, four steals and three assists.

Hannah Wilkerson surpassed 1,300 points for her career. She scored 10 and had five assists, four rebounds and three steals.

Chloee Stoner had six points and eight rebounds. Bloom Goodlett had six rebounds.

Lexington is 7-6 and 2-2 in the CCC.

North has another home game scheduled for Thursday against North Stanly.

North  is scheduled to play at Salisbury on Saturday afternoon in a big CCC matchup.
