It took a little longer than expected, but the Federal Way girls basketball team picked up their first South Puget Sound League North Division victory of the season Saturday night.

The Eagles (3-2) pounded the Kentridge Chargers at Federal Way High School, 75-22. The win moves Federal Way to 1-2 in the SPSL North. The Eagles, who came into the season as the No. 1-ranked team in the state, lost their first two league games to Auburn Riverside and Kentwood.

Federal Way jumped all over the Chargers (0-4) from the opening tip. The Eagles rolled out to a 26-3 lead after the first quarter and led 46-7 at halftime. Federal Way had a total of 10 players score at least two points during the game and were led by the 15 of junior TyShana Burgess. Tiarra Fuller finished with 12, Dyesha Belhumeur chipped in 11 and Talia Walton added 10 points for Federal Way.

The Eagles’ defense held Kentridge to single-digit points in all four quarters during Saturday’s game.
