The Bears ran their string of championships to four in a row Friday night as they shot well and created offense with their aggressive defense in a 60-39 win over Bangor.
Boyertown (7-2) forced 15 Slater turnovers in the first half and Kaitlyn Eisenhard scored 16 points in the second half to finish with a game-high 25. Morgan McCollian topped Bangor (5-2) with 14 points and 10 rebounds, eight of them on the offensive board.
