The junior didn’t have a field goal in the first half but scored 12 of her 13 points in the second half as the Lions (9-5, 2-1) outscored the visiting Lions (2-4), 34-16, in the second half.
Ring, who was shooting just 22% from behind the arc, made two three critical 3-pointers in the 2nd half. She also grabbed seven rebounds.
Junior Harriet Hayford led Potter’s House with 11 points.
