PHILADELPHIA — The Germantown Academy girl’s basketball team defeated William Penn Charter, 61-54 for their sixth straight win on Friday night. The win gives GA the regular-season sweep of Penn Charter, as they beat the Quakers, 55-31 earlier this season.

While Haynes and Polisano did most of the scoring, Alexa Naessens ’18 and Elle Stauffer ’20 handled things on the glass. Each player had nine rebounds while Naessens had six points and Stauffer had nine.
The Patriots started off strong, outscoring Penn Charter 43-22 in the first half. In the second half it was PC doing a majority of the scoring.
