Coach Drew Toney noted, ” I’ve been telling Caelyn the last couple of games that she’s due for a big game. Obviously scoring 30 is great but she also lead us in assists and Steals. We’ve had a couple of tough stretches already this season so getting a game like this to get some momentum was nice.”
Jaeden Dunbar(#25) chipped in 9 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists, while Reagan Vogel(#23) added 10 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists.

- Alexa Hennessy(#14): 4 points, 4 rebounds
The Lady Lions shot efficiently from the field, finishing 39-of-76 overall and 14-of-29 from three-point range, while controlling the glass with a 40–12 rebounding advantage. Defensively, Wellsville forced 30 Naples turnovers, converting defense into offense throughout the night.

The win underscores Wellsville’s depth, defensive intensity, and scoring ability as the Lady Lions continue their season with confidence. Go Lions!!
