Westran played it last game of the regular season Thursday night against Brookfield. Play began after the senior recognition ceremony for Westran’s varsity girls players Hayley Guzman, Kristina Marquez, and Nichole Conger.

Westran’s Lady Hornets couldn’t keep up offensively with Brookfield Thursday unable to hit double digits in any quarter. Brookfield held a lead of 13-5 after one and 27-11 at halftime.
