Kylie Hammer drilled five 3-pointers and scored a game-high 30 points as the Wayne girls continued their winning ways with a 64-37 win over Lutheran High Northeast on Tuesday at Wayne High School.

The junior sharpshooter scored 12 of her career-high points in the opening period to help the Blue Devils to a 21-13 advantage. She matched the Eagles’ first-half production with 17 in the opening half as Wayne led 36-17 at intermission and cruised to the easy win.

Kelsey Boyer hit a pair of treys and finished with eight points. Frankie Klausen and Morgan Keating both had six points, Ashton Boyer and Molly Hoskins each had three, and two points were scored by Allison Echtenkamp, Kiara Hochstein, Gabi Meyer and Jamie Gamble.

The win was the fourth straight for the 7-3 Blue Devils. They face two tough teams at home this weekend, hosting Pierce on Friday and Boone Central/Newman Grove on Saturday.
