Andover was led by Alana Shetlar’s 15 points, helping to fill the void left by the injured Brooke Walker, who leads the Trojans in scoring average.

Salina Central would attempt to mount the comeback in the fourth quarter, but would run out of time, falling in a tight affair 48-42.

Central falls to now just 9-10 on the season and will wrap up the regular season on Friday against a  struggling Haysville-Campus team.

Andover and Salina Central met for the third time this season on Tuesday night, with the third outing rendering a similar result, as Andover would run away from Central in the end for a comfortable victory.

The Mustangs would trail by just two at the end of the first quarter, thanks to a strong start offensively, but as the game wore on the offense withered away.
